While I use Facebook for professional reasons, I severely limit

I hope others will join in a discussion and let us hear their
thoughts on this.
I would not want to be involved in facebook for the activities of
this list. I have, from time to time, participated to a limited
extent at the request of my kids. (I activate and deactive the
account upon demand, facebook never forgets anything). I have
somehow gotten one of my email addresses (and name) onto some site
that kindly sends me commercials for a Canadian Drugstore. "B^y
M*eds from us t- yu", and endless variations of subjects. I have
found that I can filter out about 90% of them because they always use
unusual characters in their subjects, and often include a couple of
paragraphs of text from a classic book to make the messages look
larger than the single URL which is usually the only thing in the
body of the message.
Fortunately Cox, the hated Cox, provides me almost limitless "Store
and Share" space that allows me to post the 300 or so pictures that
get taken with my camera (mostly by the kids, grand kids, etc.)
during my annual visit. Saves a lot of time sorting and sending and
I give them permission to download anything they want.
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure about it.
