I have a Facebook page and the privacy controls offered are such that I’ve never been contacted by anyone or anything that I don’t want. You also have the option of deactivating your page. Being Facebook friends doesn’t mean that you grapple everyone to your bosom. It’s a way to interact with people and a way to get fresh ideas. My suggestion is to try Facebook before knocking it.

I just stumbled upon your site yesterday, and I must say, I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far. Like you, I’m Facebook-phobic, though I do use it to chat with the few family members who don’t know how to email or pick up a phone. I’m looking forward to the next issue, when I found out if Marley has nephews named Seth and Rupert!

I appreciated your comments on Facebook. I used to be on Facebook — really on it. So much so that I started wondering if there is a term to describe someone who becomes addicted to it. If there isn’t, there should be. I have now gone cold turkey, although it wasn’t easy. Well, the quitting wasn’t that difficult once I had pulled the plug on it. It was the pulling of the plug that was difficult for me. I had to navigate a hideous number of steps to assure the Facebook folks that I was indeed serious about wanting to escape from their trap. It was so much easier to sign up than to sign out. No simple “click here to unsubscribe” method. My only problem now is that I’ve become hopelessly addicted to your ramblings and your marvelous archive. Way to go, Detective. <
