I think there must be more. I'm usually a lurker but sometimes have something to 
say.

I guess it's a gerneration thing. I did try Facebook but find it doesn't suit 
me. Also, people who used to offer valuable contributions to mailing lists such 
as this, now spend their time posting every burp of their children or what 
flavour sandwich they happen to be eating. The stuff is so dilute and transient 
I can't see it becoming a valuable resource for Ubuntu. I'm sure Facebook, 
Twitter etc can be used in a meaningful manner, but I havn't been able to find it.

On the other hand, many newcomers, even you Philipp, are not familiar with 
mailing lists (i.e. please don't bottom-quote! ;-) )

So I guess we face a fork from us old mailing-list types to the young facebook 
generation.
