[GreenKeys] part 1 of this stupid email that greenkeys refuses to pass

[gil at baudot.net]

Hey folks:

I have been quite absent from greenkeys for a while, so I thought I
would chime in with some random, off-topic stuff:


<pissin-n-moanin-bout-facebook>
After a brief experiment to keep up with the kids (and even thinking it
might have some greenkeys applications), I have dumped facebook, so it's
back to good old email for communication. The last straw came when I
clicked on a link (allegedly) sent by a friend, and it posted a picture
of a woman's a** to all my friends.  Now it was a very nice a**, mind
you, but it ended up on my teenage daughter's page, and my wife's page
(well, say no more).  So, even though I thought I had the fb "privacy"
controls set to keep their "apps" from having any control of my
actions...  Apparently facebook wants to make money on directed
advertising and will sell anything for a price, including users' private
data (such as friends lists).  What a bunch of crapola.  On the plus
side, I have much more time now!
