First, unfortunately it's too late for me to go back and fix the typos above (HN + iPhone = errors), so my apologies for that.
And second, I agree with you. It's not that I checked it that often in any event (if they really wanted to prevent time wasting distractions, they'd block HN ;)), and if I want to, I can always check it via my iPhone/iPad, etc...
I suppose my overall point was that, even though the no-Facebook policy is inane, it ended up with a result that for me was fairly benign, which suggests that Facebook's value in my life was fairly low.
