I hear ya, Gipper. I have a FB account, but I haven't opened that page almost since the day I created it. Frankly, I don't get Facebook, and haven't warmed up to the way it functions, either.
I know that a lot of folks love it, but it just doesn't turn my crank for some reason. I'm also very suspicious of all of the "friending", and linking that goes on. It just seems like too much loss of privacy to me.
