<u>IF YOU'RE NEW TO FACEBOOK</u>: If you're joining facebook just to interact with the microtonal community, be aware that every facebook group gets bombarded with spammer accounts. These are bare-bones profiles with few friends and little activity, asking to join the group. If allowed to join, these accounts usually post spam about cheap sunglasses, how to make $500 a day working from home, etc. As a result, the admins of all these facebook groups have learned to only admit active profiles. So if you have been avoiding facebook for years, how do you make a profile that doesn't look like you're a spammer? In your "about" section, say something thoughtful and intelligent about microtonality, alternative tunings, music theory, instruments you play, bands you're in, pieces you've composed, or whatever... anything to let us know you're a real person!
