No, I'm saying "use it if you want, but please try to keep external
backups of all the supporter details and don't create much
facebook-only content because facebook *do* delete people's accounts
in an automated, arbitrary and self-contradicting way, so supporting
them (as opposed to mining them) is not in the public interest."

Hope that helps,
