I love being out of the loop.
as an example, i'm an aquarist who focus on developing specific traits - being out of the loop basically means no access to shows, international exchange meetings, local swaps, events and would also set me back 10-20 years on potential development by trying to reinvent the wheel or even likely to fail in such attempts as well as an inability to acquire quality stock to revitalize genes in housed populations.
being out of the loop in this context is equivalent of quitting because its just impossible to do without facebook because these assholes all decided to move their social activity there.
