The Facebook account is probably temporary, as I needed it to login to something for a project, and there was no workaround. Anyway, this is not the place for me to talk about my reasons for wanting or not wanting a Google+ account, since I'm fairly sure no-one else cares! > I do agree though that there are many people who simply don't want to give > all their personal data to such sites, and that has to be kept in mind when > suggesting we all decamp from a mailing list to a community: This point of Duncan's is probably more relevant to more people. It's also worth noting that I am an avid used of google code and happily use google groups - it's just one policy I object to.
