Chris,
All right, I just joined Twitter and I do feel picked on. I'm talking to my lawyers as we speak. And as soon as they get out of jail they'll contact your lawyers. My daughter forced me to join.
On a serious note, I agree that being on Twitter and Facebook will attract a younger customer/collecter base which will be good for the future of the hobby. When you post news regarding new models coming out you could also mention the up coming meeting on the East and West Coast to encourage people to come out and see what all the talk in about.
Now I'll go back and sulk in the corner.
