Fair enough. The site is NOT AFFILIATED in any way shape or form with any organization.

Thanks!

(If that is not your intention please clarify). I have no quibble with your setting up your own site, but it seems a bit odd to be setting up a site as if it is sponsored by this list when no one has been appointed by list members to represent them nor make decisions on their behalf, nor decide what should go up on a facebook page affiliated with the list. So I'd suggest that the FB page be presented as your site rather than a page sponsored by, or affilliated with, this list.
