No, that's not the one, but it is the only thing I had been able to find
via a simple search before I got the link. Even so, now, knowing the
name of the group, I am still not able to search for it or go directly
to it. I can get there only with the link.

The page is quite boring, BTW. But then, FB is not a good medium for
spirited interaction, is it? One-sided statement of ideas and opinions
works there, but exchange of ideas is nonexistent. Actual learning and
growth just doesn't happen in the FB environment (that must be why it's
so popular).
