I'm not because if I want to make contact with someone I'll call them.

me neither I control who gets to post on mine and to be honest when I get to oz many will find themselves pruned from mine which will only be people close to me as I will be posting pictures etc for my sons back here and don't want to be found by certain people

It is easier to contact lots of people at once to share things like photos and things

I'm NOR in Perth. I would block her, but my in-laws already think I'm the devil incarnate, so blocking one of them would be akin to me putting a dagger through their collective hearts.

As long as you don't disappear from me I told you I am a stalker - you can run but you can't hide

There's too many of the family on there, both sides - like I said, if I wanted to talk to them, I'll call them.

You could always use a different identity and contact the people you want to reach on there and your inlaws will be none the wiser

then all you need to do is remove her from being a friend and play the computer idiot I don't know how i did that and now the computer wont allow me to add her as a friend i don't know why sob sob oh dear your help didnt work i just cant add her oh well never mind you can keep me up to date on her

its ok Lau I shall be opening one with my real identity and I promise I will add you

I just ignore them - 'who has a crush on you' etc, I cannot be bothered to go through the 344 notifications on it.

I have people on limited profiles so family and work stuff can be kept apart. My Facebook rules are simple, if people do not like what they see or read on there then they can delete me as a friend. I do not and will not justify what I write, or piccies/videos I post - to my family or anyone.

My Facebook, my choice to allow people to see it and I decide who to ignore/block.

Ive had loads of spamming on there as well.

Thanks hon I don't read all my notifications either but that can be a problem as I just realised I had some birthday cards / messages from friends and they must have thought I was ungrateful / ignoring them when I didn't respond.... Oops....

I choose not to put my details on public display - I don't see the point.

That's just it, you don't have to be public. I have made it impossible for me to be found in a facebook search.

My Dad loves seeing our piccies and video messages - you can decide who sees what.

The privacy controls are good. I suppose for some of us, it is a nice way to keep in touch with certain people.

I have facebook too

I've just had my account cancelled because honestly I found it boring. A nudge, wink or a picture of a bottle of beer does absolutely nothing for me. I write to friends/relatives with news and ask them a question or two, they seem to be totally confused unless they can press a button to reply to me, most of the time I get no response or just the word OK. Perhaps I'm a boring old phart but I do prefer to have a real conversation/discussion with people. If I sent the same people this posting they'd respond with "Yes" or "OK" because they've lost the ability to compose a simple straight forward sentence. I see young people on public transport and in public places, they seem to communicate with grunts and facial expressions, if this carries on humans will lose language as we know it.
