I would really love to vote for you (youhave certainly earned it!), but I am of the opinion (I am not alone either) that Twitter is simply "too unsafe" and I will never ever join.

Facebook is also a no-no for me......very sorry.

Hi Andy,

We have been on a few discussion in the past and I respect your opinion, so I am curious about your answer here.

I think "Twitter" is a complete waste of time I don't see any value in it. I tried it but like most people I know, stopped using it soon after joining. I have other things to do in my life besides telling the world that I am going to the bathroom.

I do use "Facebook" and have it set to "private for friends only". I have found it useful for reconnecting with old military pals and family members. How is it less safe than any other internet activity including this board?

Facebook (and some others) have been taken to task for security lapses of several types, criminal lapses to my mind.

Insecure data was just one of them, tricks by hackers that allowed them to find out far more than they were really entitled to.....fine details I have forgotten - sadly, but why would I need to remember, I don't use it!!

If you can read German, look here:-

http://www.thomashutter.com/index.php/tag/facebook-security/

For a start in English look here:-

http://www.brighthub.com/internet/security-privacy/articles/65046.aspx

Most of the posts about security are in German.....which could explain why I am not interested in "signing on!"

Same thing here Andy!!

If I could simply "VOTE" for CR4, I would, but I am NOT going to join something I neither need nor want to do it.

It is largely due to our birthdates. We are within two weeks of each other... November 02 for this kid.
