I was surprised to read of George's reluctance to have any fb-friend-type contact with younger people. Maybe I'm just not as paranoid as I should be, but MOST of my facebook friends are contemporaries of my kids.

Now, I'm in my 60s and these "youngsters" are late-20s-early-30s types, so there isn't much danger of anyone being accused of pedophilia ~ which is, I suppose, the basis for so much cyber-caution. (Second only to fear of identity theft, of course.)

I occasionally find that I have a "friend" whom I don't remember either requesting or accepting. In each such case, however, there has always proved to be some mutual interest and/or mutual friend to explain the connection. Perhaps the only real problem is with my memory...
