Write a rule that deletes anything with facebook in it.  There now you don't have to get upset.

Yeah, but you dont need the outages mailing list to determine if  
facebook is down for your ISP constituents. Just bring up a browser,  
and if its down, its down! Testing over.

Unlike an Sprint outage in Chicago, there is no easy way for me to  
test that, but a post on the list helps.
