To me, "facebook" represents social engineering at it's worst. Years ago I reluctantly let my 16 year old granddaughter set me up with an account. Since then, it's been nothing but problems. Several times I have tried, and failed, to close my account ... they don't make this easy.

I have now taken this approach: everytime I get a facebook message, I contact that sender by private e-mail and ask (demand?) that they remove me from their list of so called "friends." This seems to be helping. bob(deckman)nelson
