[Leica] Facebook privacity

[photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)]

For the most part, the pictures I post on FB are throwaway ones, often taken 
with my iPhone. 

Facebook is far too useful for me to abandon it, but I may think twice about 
posting pictures there, even throwaway ones.

Cheers,
Nathan
