I'm on Spacebook, don't use it though, never have, why on it?

to be polite to the important customers who want to friend me.

I'm on 3 forums now, this takes a couple of hours a day off me, I don't need

another forum.

I'll also get another million of those questions "can I put shell in my car?" WTF?

That's like asking on here "can I by a Holden?"

Cheers

Steve

I was on FB for a while when a close relative (and friend) was OS. When he came back, I closed it down.

It seems to me that FB provides the platform but you have to work out how to use it, rather than, for example, a list of security options when you establish your ID about how public you want your info to be.

In really simple terms I am wary of free stuff that requires personal info. They own whatever you post and I wonder what will come of all that info they collect.

I may be naive and I may be unnecessarily concerned but I don't trust it or the people who run it.

I like to put up the occasional pic of lunch if its good, then other people know that particular place is good and to go there.

Same thing with others on my facebook, if they find a place with a bangin' steak, I'll be there soon.

I guess its the same with Microsoft's SkyDrive (now OneDrive), its on Windows 8 computers, you tie it to your outlook email address and it stores all your documents so you can access them everywhere through the internet on your Windows phone or laptop etc.

They admitted they let the NSA access it, meh, they got my resume so the NSA are more than welcome to look into it and give me a job.

I didn't have any dramas but it got annoying being bombarded with everyone's trivial thoughts and there only being very little that was actually noteworthy.

I have no doubts that I was posting the same crap myself. I eventually just lost interest and decided to delete my account last year. It served a purpose and it was no longer doing that.

The funny thing is on occasion since deleting my account, someone has a party or something and it comes up in conversation later on. The conversation where someone asks 'where were you' and you say 'where was my invite' and the get the good ole 'the event was sent on Facebook..etc'

Well how on earth did we ever communicate before Facebook!

It is what you put into it. The problem is a lot of people don't really put anything of any value into it in my experience. Great time waster but there a lots of things on the internet for that :

I hate hearing or reading stories like this PB, it makes me ill, to think anyone could do this. Good on your uncle for doing it the right way. I know if it was my kids, I'd be in jail and the creep would be 6 foot under.

I know, that's a normal reaction, my uncle isn't a violent man.

Other children, grandchildren, mortgage etc

He would lose far more, he's had to be in it for longhaul

only seeing results now

It would of been hard on him and he is stronger then I would have been. I know that going off and killing the creep would be wrong and not helpful. But in a fit of rage all logical thinking would go out the window.
