 ML> So do you join 'em or not?
 DD> NOT!!!

I think about joining Ned and his spiritual kin every few
days, but the utility and amusement afforded so far outweigh
the annoyance and philosophical loathing that sometimes come
to the surface. The event that raised my hackles most
recently is Facebook's banning of the Social Roulette app,
see www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2418976,00.asp ,
which I thought most amusing and possibly worthwhile.

 Mark Zuckerwhatsis has quite enough money without my enriching
 DD> him further.

He's irrelevant to me so far, just another silly punk
who thinks he can destroy the world in his own image
and likeness.

 As I said above. I am convinced that (sounding like a
 DD> gen-u-wine old phart) all this "social media" is A] reducing privacy,
 DD> B] killing the attention span of entire generations, C] aiding in the
 DD> depredation of the ozone layer, and D] causing mis-diagnosis of ADHD in
 DD> wholesale lots. 

A. agreed
B. agreed to some degree - but in some ways they improve it
C. how?
D. disagreed - the ADHD is, was, always will be there;
   the social media are merely a symptom, manifestation,
   and enabler.

If there were a groundswell to change the rule, it might get
changed, but right now I would say it might not get enforced,
the same way that a quick touch [ONLY] on religious or
political subjects might get a blind eye. I think that
"DON'T get personal" is the most important and the only
rule whose violation will get a quick slapdown.
