Yeah, my formative musical moment were spent playing "Spazz" by the Elastik Band over and over ... garage punk was my life when I was 11.

Absolutely! Jill, "social networking" can be only what you want it to be. For me, it has been amazing, connecting together all the various areas of my life and bringing me back in contact with people I'd really missed but whom I almost certainly would never have found again were it not for the interweb. It's easy enough to set your security settings so you're not showing "just anyone" anything you don't want them to know, and you can use it or ignore it as much as you choose, but honestly, I'm grateful for Facebook's existence! And I used to resist all this stuff as well! ymmv, obviously! :) peace, Edward ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V18 #142 ********************************
