I certainly agree with you, David, Matthias. I don't like Facebook and their privacy policies, or lack of. It makes the Government agencies look like rank amateurs when it comes to watching what we are all doing.
However I certainly understand what Graham is saying when he writes "had to venture into using it for marketing other aspects etc... just no choice if you want to keep up with things." And there are times when I wonder if I will not be obligated to join it just and only for business purposes. That would be a very bitter pill to swallow!!! Anyway we can all band together, protect our privacy, and keep the List going?? Any comments? anybody? Anne M.

You do need to keep it in check with privacy settings and try not to let it take over your life though.
