It is possible for a non facebook user to view photos, but apparently you have to set permissions for each photo or something like. It ends up being enough of a hassle that over time, I end up not seeing photos. Likewise, when folks post stuff to their facebook accounts, such a large percentage of their friends are on the system that non-facebookers tend to be overlooked. I was probably gonna end up there sooner or later anyhow. There's been nothing big yet, but we're starting to look into doing things with Facebook at work.

I was quite willing to pass the photos along by a different route, and you'll note that I did. (I only sent them Facebook route because I was under the mistaken impression that you would be able to view them without an account.) I am sorry that you have succumbed to Facebook illness.
