This is partly the reason I refuse to sign up for Facebook. I'm pretty much the only person in my school that doesn't have an FB account. (And that annoys them to no end.

Signing up to anything online gets the same results ...... Facebook is no different to ordering things from Amazon anything you share online is fair game to people wanting to sell you something, or swindle you.
Get over it ........ and get used to it ........ or stay offline .... off the phone ........ and live in a cave with no connections to the outside world because that's the only way you are going to escape the marketing man's grasp..... and I'm sure he'll eventually find you in a cave.

I have a number of relatives on facebook -- and I have found others listed with my, so I am told, unique name... but none are me.
When relating to email transfers today, I was asked if I had a computer (assumptions, assumptions)...
"Yes, I do, but what does that have to do with transferring this to my online account? My computer has no online connection -- that's why I'm here [at yours]."
I also have a television -- but no commercial connection nor is an antenna allowed... I must settle for the occasional VHS viewing.8-)

VHS = Video Home System, better known as VCR. I still have 2 of them.
What's really old is someone in here (I think I read it in the Sports section) still has some Betamax tapes.

Facebook can be used responsibly. I see so many list their phone #s, street address, all kinds of identifying information for all to see. I use Facebook a lot, but I am careful about what I put out there for the world to see.
Plus, you don't need facebook to share your info. You can look up anybody on the internet and find tons of info floating around out there. Phone #s, street addresses, all that, is often easily found through online phone books and other databases.

[color=#003300]In another coincidence, I just rediscovered a CFS WWI campaign set, on an old HD, that I never uploaded (it featured retextured Camels, Fokker Triplanes and Albatroses; applicable videos and sound effects -- a rather large feat of uploading on a dial-up); anyway, Bj

This is precisely why I don't use my real name on the interwebs.
