ML>ML> TW> Sorry I don't do Facebook

ML>ML>you don't have to have a FB account to view someone's pictures or
ML>ML>other cont
ML>ML>if they make it available to everyone...

ML> TW> the picture in quesation that I was refered to was NOT public

ML>at that time, yes... but still... the blanket statement of "i don't do
ML>facebook" was what i was aiming at... it doesn't matter if
"you" have a FB
ML>account or not... the statement implys that "you" wouldn't
"go there" even i
ML>the item of discussion was public and open to everyone...

TRUE, BUT that does not mean I don't like Faceboob but jsut see NO use
for it for ME.

ML>ML>besides, FB isn't "that bad" and one only need use common sense
ML>ML>just like in any other area so as to stay out of the bad stuff...

ML> TW> I did not imply that it was Bad, Just that I don't do facebook.

ML>i guess this is a simple matter of perspective, then... see above for furthe
ML>clarification...

ML>FWIW: i was of similar mind a few years ago... until i actuall took a look,
ML>tested the watersm and learned more about the site ;)

ML>then i found not only the networking aspect (ie: networking with those aroun
ML>you) but also the games and other services FB offers... if i had to offer a
ML>guess, i'd say that i now spend <80% of my time (outside of other activities
ML>on FB simply because it offers a much larger audience than any BBS can or ha
ML>ever offered...

ML>there are times that i share items of interest (to me) that other might be
ML>interested in that would never have been posted on any BBS... articles from
ML>"the register", nasa, various government entities, and even
just plain old
ML>funnt stuff like that posted on damnyouautocorrect.com (which has screenshot
ML>of text messages from smartphones where the automatic spelling correction ha
ML>"twisted" words into something "else" quite unintended ;)

And I can see the need for that in some lives. JUST not Mine!!
