There are still a few interests in privacy you know ;-)
The forum still gives that, and doesn't mix personal life and orchids which I like.
I can still follow the FB group, and without a real name either. It has a good amount of discussion, but the sad thing is that is a closed circle, and simple orchid amateurs won't see any of the information exchanged because it won't even show in a google search! Too bad...

Not to stray too far from the topic of orchids, but I understand why many have serious reservations about entwining their personal lives with the all-seeing facebook. Personally I do as much as I can to minimize exposure of my personal details to facebook, with my privacy settings sharing almost no info and only minimum required info entered at all.
