My son "joined me" when our first grandchild was born, so we could see pictures of her. It has been nice to be able to see them, and subsequent ones (we now have 6). OTOH I find it horribly intrusive, the user interface written by a child and the idea of sharing every nuance of my existence with God knows who offensive in the extreme. I haven't posted a photo there for several years. It has a small utility to me in keeping up with snaps of relatives abroad. I check it for about 15 minutes once a fortnight. I would barely miss it if it were to cease to exist. FD I loathe Twitter as well. Freedom of speech I support, anonimity breeds a freedom to post bullying and obscene messages which a substantial number of obnoxious people seem to take joy in excercising. >________________________________ > From: Douglas Barry <imra at iol.ie> >To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> >Sent: Tuesday, 17 September 2013, 14:22 >Subject: Re: [Leica] Facebook privacy > > > >"Mark Rabiner" <mark at rabinergroup.com> contributed >> Most not all of the people who keep Facebook at a big? limited arms length >> are the same ones who otherwise marginalize themselves constantly with >> anti >> social personality you name it modes of behavior.
