You know that's actually not following Facebook rules? Those should have 
been *groups* (which you join), not pages (which you become a fan of).

I can't make a Page for "POV-Ray" for people to become fans of. Someone from 
the POV team has to do it, or I'll be violating the terms of service. And a 
page called "I don't smoke" just doesn't make sense.

However, the vast majority of users are largely unaware of the difference 
and use pages and groups interchangably. Despite the fact that creating a 
page makes you write your full name as a signature, to say that you are a 
rightful representative of the subject matter of the page.

Users Don't Read.
