Maybe this is a generational thing. But I can‘t see how anyone over the age of 15 can get a thrill over the whole "Facebook experience", let alone a 54-year old.

I wonder when people will figure out that if you post it on facebook you might as well be screaming it from a rooftop. Actions have consequenses.

This is why I always maintained, as early as 1995, NEVER use your real name on the internet with regards to your personal life, there aren't any valid reasons for it beyond maintaining a public presence for professional or business reasons. That belief I‘ve held for almost 20 years seemed out of place, even a little paranoid, up until the NSA got caught with the hand in the cookie jar and alienated the USA with the rest of the world. Not withstanding all of the blind trust people eschewing into the big players who may not have your privacy concerns in mind.
