In fairness, it did require some action on Jason's part --- Facebook does have a feature (?) to email people "from your address book" at various webmail providers, but it won't do so without the user specifically providing his or her credentials and approval. More specifically, we should be upset at Jason for not noticing that WLUG isn't a person when asking Facebook to send those messages, not at Facebook for letting him do so. Peace.

Social networking sites: the AIM-virus host of the new millenium. Don't touch it with a stick, kids. All you need is IRC, BBS, public_html, and an email address.
