Just reading this and I'm glad that I'm not alone on the perks. I didn't contribute for perks and I don't really need them, but as they say, promise and then follow through. I hate face book and consider it an absolute invasion of ones privacy. I too had an account and was harassed by some pervert saying crude things to my nephews daughter on the second day, so I will never use it again. I hope the e-mail connection will get me a founders hat. I gave at a high level, so no kit, T shirt, hat, coin etc I guess.
