Just as a quick follow up to the above post... there are currently 11 members to the group on facebook. I again, encourage anyone interested in doing so to check it out and maybe join up..! I also submitted a post on my new blog about Fel's works, and this site in particular. I also provided a link to this site from there as well. If anyone is interested in reading that blog, go to... http://myhatsize.blogspot.com/2010/10/s ... orums.html

No, I haven't.

I'm very leery of sites like Facebook. I consider them a horrific invasion of privacy in what they demand to know about someone before they allow you to sign up and what they do with that information once they get it, and the recent reports about the lack of security there validated my concerns.

Not that I care about some information. After all, my real name and address are on this site. But, there's a principle involved here. When I put my name and address up, I did it willingly and knowing who would see that information (visitors). If I do the same on Facebook, there's no telling who will see that information, or to whom Facebook WILL SELL THAT INFORMATION.

If they're gonna make money off my information, damn it, at least I want a cut of it.

Until I'm certain that I have total control over my information, I will not sign up for Facebook.
Just another guy from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Here, here, Fel!

I agree with you completely. Besides, I would much rather make my friends face-to-face.
An objective definition of "Political Correctness":

"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and
rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

I'll make only one comment - I DO NOT support Facebook in any way!

My friends know how to find me and any site which delves into my personal business to the extent which sites of that sort do are not for me. I prefer a modicum of privacy, thank you!
