[Boatanchors] All Good Things

[Jim Liles]

Grant,
Is there a way to stop the incessant rolling of junk through your screen? 
There is an ongoing advertising blitz that I don't see on this list ----  
well ---- with a couple of exceptions --- but the erase key works on the 
list but not FB or for that matter Yahoo.

A great day to you ---regards Jim

Methinks some of you just didn't bother to open the settings and security 
tabs.

You can keep the morons out. You can control who's posts you see. You don't 
have to get notifications. FB Groups can be restricted and even "private" 
(invitation only). You don't have to share your life history.  You can be 
SELECTIVE.

I don't see FB ever as a replacement for a moderated reflector. But it isn't 
the root of all evil, deserving of hell fire and damnation,  either.  It 
does take knowing how to use it -- which is a lot easier than getting all 47 
pieces of software doing some esoteric digital mode and fully automatic 
contesting/logging running with a radio-on-a-chip-peripheral plugged into a 
shiny new laptop driving 4 screens.
