"Andy, are you on facebook?"
 Nope. Never could see the point, when I have email, this discussion group, and my own website. Call me old-fashioned... ;-)

No. I just looked it up on Wikipedia. It appears to be some kind of  social internet service. Apparently quite a lot of people use it.

"I'd call that safe computing  :)"

That too. :-)
 I've been reading the computer industry trade press since before Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg was in diapers. From its beginning, FaceBook has been one user-privacy fiasco after another.
 Zuckerberg himself famously summed up his opinion of Facebook users in an instant message to a friend: "They trust me -- dumb f**ks." Well, I don't, and I'm not. ;-)

Agree heartily, Andy! I permanently deleted my FB accnt.(not that easy)after realizing the many wasted hours I was spending. No offense to those who enjoy FB, but I feel it promotes shallow thinking, superficial relationships, and what I call a "cut and paste mentality". GIGO
