Mostly agreed. I discover that Facebook has been taken over by
an older crowd, though, with the result that I have more than
50 contacts on that network (as opposed to 3 on LinkedIn and
nothing to do at all with Twitter). Many of my musical colleagues
do Facebook: the distressing consequence is that they often end
up talking young people talk lolol.

Not at all, as Jalapenos aren't particularly Chinese and
soy sauce not particularly Mexican. I have had regular green
peppers sauteed with soy sauce, and that's perfectly fine
and normal.

The way it always is.

 DS> All in all, I think it is a toss up between them and will wait for

Nobody I've talked to knows anything about either.

Problem being that people who live around here have no
insight on such things, never having to use them, unless
they do things that most of my friends don't do.
