Now why would you go and do that....what's wrong with FB as it is?

Sorry, man, didn't mean to hurt your feelings. FB is great; that's why I'm k
eeping at least some API compatibility with it.

But I had so much customisation I needed to do; it didn't make sense to thro
w a ton of callbacks and tweaks to hack around FB. Plus I also didn't need a
 lot of features it has, and they  the hell out of me, my code path 
is a bit easier to debug be
cause I don't have to chase those rabbits.

Uh, plus, when I started FB wasn't quite stable enough for my taste, and I c
ouldn't risk random things breaking and me not knowing how to fix it.

My FB-like class is a bit over 700 lines total. It's not a competitor ;-) I'
d publish it but I don't think anyone else will like the way I did stuff; it
's specific to this application.
