[Coco] Facebook CoCo (Mainly) group now over 1,500 members.

[Steve Strowbridge]

I think it would be very possible to promote "the list" in Facebook, But I
feel that Facebook, would not like "the list" to refer to it's people as
suicidal lemmings jumping off cliffs to their deaths.
It might even be nice for someone from "the list" to post a message in the
Facebook group saying they have joined because they found out about it from
"the list" and then promote "the list" to "the Facebook"

OK, Maybe I'm going overboard, but yea, I'll post something myself today, I
challenge someone else to do something similar.
