I don't "FB," period, for any purpose.  I tried a while back because people
kept telling me it was the only way to keep up with family, friends,
interests .... .  It isn't, and in fact is a very bad way to do so, so far
as I am concerned.  Further, I have philosophical objections to a medium
that exploits membership the way FB does, and also tries to direct members'
political beliefs.

As someone else said, it sucks.  To say nothing of the fact that it seems
to have cooperated with foreign powers interfering with our political
process.

Down with FB.
