Don't knock Facebook too much.  I've reconnected with a lot of distant
family on Facebook as well as some long-lost and much-missed friends plus
former co-workers, fellow ham operators, fellow BBS
nutcases^H^H^H^H^H^H^Her, sysops and a few new friends in between.  Now I
have around 157 friends and I know all of them pretty well by now.  But the
real secret of Facebook is a) making sure you close all the security
loopholes, b) making sure everything is "friends only" and c) not
posting anything you'd not want the whole world to know.

But to be very honest, I still prefer a BBS over Facebook anyday.

Later,
Sean
