I joined FaceBook a few months ago but soon abandoned it after receiving
innumerable postings from people I barely knew in which they told me
they had just scored umpteen points playing various on-line game which
I'd never heard of.

Well thank you for that hint! I knew I could block applications from
showing up. I will use it wisely.
I've been having a blast reconnecting with HS friends though I have
connected with EXACTLY one college chum. And swear she's one of those trying
for the most friends on facebook.

Months ago I created a facebook group of our teenage community theater
group. Only DH and I were members. Now we've been discovered and the
members are posting photos and old programs. I'm enjoying every second
of reliving my youth.
Also have lots of stitching friends on facebook. Plus more and more
stitching things/groups are showing up, like EGA National and other
chapters, and JABC and Hoffman Distributing, and needlepoint shops
like Rittenhouse. It's all good so far.

I'm with you facebook is as safe as you make it. And I'm not going to post
anything I'm going to regret there or in any other semi-public forum. Even
X-archiving doesn't mean it is going to disappear from all the computers in
all the world.
