That.. actually makes sense.
Don't sound so amazed! I do make sense occasionally...probably more by accident than by intention, but... :laugh:

You do know that more than one person can have the same name? Both in real life and Facebook.

Yeah, right. And the article have a big Like button just under the title, plus others (I don't know what they are, twitter and some others). "Control yourself, general." (Starship Troopers) That's what you need to do on Facebook. Or anywhere else.

I don't have an account, OG, because I can't stop pretending to be me. From my pov (aged, weakening eyes): FaceBook, Twitter, Linked In, Google+, etc., are all to the quality of public discourse as the Black Death was to medieval Europe, but, unfortunately the so-called "social networking sites" only leave people in PVS (Persistent Vegetative State), "virtually dead," rather than physically dead. However, we are learning some very interesting things at this time, about what consciousness is by observing brain activity in people in PVS: [^]. What are we learning from the mass extinction of the quality of thought from FaceBook et. al. ? bill

As Lynne Truss says in her seminal work "Eats, Shoots and Leaves": "Thirty years ago we assumed that television was the ultimate enemy of literacy and that, under the onslaught from image and sound, the written word would rapidly die out. Such fears, at least, have been dissipated. With text messaging and emailing becoming such compulsive universal activities, reading and writing are now more a fact of everyday life than they have ever been. The text message may be a vehicle for some worrying verbal shorthand ("CU B4 8?"), yet every time a mobile goes "Beep-beep; beep-beep" annoyingly within earshot on the bus, we should be grateful for a technological miracle that stepped in unexpectedly to save us from a predicted future that couldn't read at all." And when talking about social media: "...by tragic historical coincidence a period of abysmal undereducating in literacy has coincided with this unexpected explosion of global self-publishing. Thus people who don't know their apostrophe from their elbow are positively invited to disseminate their writings to anyone on the planet stupid enough to double-click and scroll." Interestingly, Google chrome doesn't like that last quote: it insists it should be "under education" rather than "undereducating", and I'm afraid I have to agree with the Large Company rather than the grammatacologist... :sigh:

BTW: I share your pain regarding the "aged, weakening eyes" - I now have three pairs of glasses: "Walk about", "Reading", and "Computer" without which I am well and truly stuffed. :sigh:

Not a bad list of things not to do on FB, but he forgot thing-not-to-do 0: 0: Log in.

No it doesn't. There are dozens of accounts with the same name. It is even possible to have two accounts yourself with your name.

But it is hard for a duplicate account to really pretend to be you. To be believable, they'd have to add enough of your friends - and some of your friends will be idiots and add him, but if even a couple of them don't, he won't be able to send out any more friend requests and Facebook will get suspicious of the account.

While it is true that the name can be duplicated, the "username" is unique (Try it out, go to https://www.facebook.com/zuck to go directly to Mark Zuckerberg's account), as is (are) the email account(s) associated with said account. I signed up for quite a few services for the same reason, to secure my username. My Facebook account went unused for years before I realized that I could reconnect with people I had lost touch with over the years. Also, I find it ironic that people are complaining about an online forum (Facebook) on an online forum. ;P

Have to agree. I use FB a lot. I even found old girlfriends on other continents. Getting in touch with them after years was nice. ;)
