I can do this but not sure if I'll be able to do today or tomorrow?
will do my best :)

If data and numbers are what you are looking for, give me few hours
and I will provide you with the numbers of users who would LOVE to see
this option and that would be ONLY from users on Facebook. I still can
take that vote from other areas but our channels on Facebook [1] have
the most active users and more than any other area. Our Google+ Page
and Community are both active as well but Facebook is #1 when it comes
to activities so I will get back to you guys with some figures ;)

Thanks!
