    Yes, that's what I did. It has been two days and I and my internet usage has already reduced. I will go back to it in a while but for now, I do not really miss it. So, if I post any crap apart from that in my previous posts and this one, you know you can blame FB.

    I was going to do that but my wife wanted it to look up old friends and didn't want to create her own account (very sensible).

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

      Oh that's no problem - they come through on an email I don't use anyway. But if you were the one who signed me up for the Gentleman's Enlargement Services spammers on my "real" email...:mad:

        You're not alone - my wife and I have never signed up either. The whole concept just never appealed to us.

          you are not alone. In 2008 I signed up using work email as we're looking to write an auxiliary component for our software. The project got killed in 3 days. It was the best decision we made. I have a dormant account with no friends and no post of what so ever. I still use that account if I am forced to log in to FB, apart from that I'm a non-existent in the FB world. ;)

          Yusuf May I help you?

            Me neither. I came through uni just before it became a Thing, so I didn't sign up there, and then it was for students after I graduated, and by the time it became open I knew I didn't want it. I guess there are probably quite a few 30-31 year olds in the same position.

                          This has happened to me once since 2007. I don't know why people complain this. May be it is because my language on FB is almost never kid sister friendly.

                              I'm not a big fan of FB, however every once and a while it does prove to be useful. Found out today that a friend passed away over the weekend. Not someone I frequently see any more so it otherwise would have been a long time to find out otherwise.


                              Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

                                        Yes, that's what I did. It has been two days and I and my internet usage has already reduced. I will go back to it in a while but for now, I do not really miss it. So, if I post any crap apart from that in my previous posts and this one, you know you can blame FB.

                                        It's never really gone. Even deactivated, it's a click away. The only thing that you can really change is your own behavior. :) Good luck! Marc

                                          Obviously too subtle.
