Argh, doggone FB ... Gary, thanks for the DW link that I had somehow missed. I'm pretty sure that once upon a time, public posts on FB were world-visible but apparently now you have to be logged in even if the post is public. (I just tried it and got exactly the post+comments I expected, but I'm logged in.) Recently, they also did something that makes it impossible to select text on the screen to copy (and causes print-to-PDF to fail on my PowerBook), so to copy/paste I resort to using the "view source" window. Facebook seems intent on breaking basic elements of how the web was designed to work. (Also interesting -- in another browser I just tried forcing the desktop site instead of the mobile version (which i get because my browser "is too old", and I get a "page not available".) I guess FB is the wrong place to put anything interesting that anyone might want to be able to get back to. :-( But alas, people keep using it.
Anyhow, thanks for the heads-up, both of you. I'm not sure how to fix this other than copying everything to another site and republishing it, but that's a very different act from just quoting a bit. (If anybody else comes along and sees this and knows how to create reliable links to FB content, let me know, eh?)
