Encouraged by some friends and family, I joined facebook. I saw no particular value in this service and had no wish to share personal info with millions of strangers. I posted mininmal info on my bio.
It appeared to me that there seemed to be sub groups. Relatives wanted us to sign up for family groups. So I did. I thought my update to family members was aimed to that small sub set.
Imagine my surprise to find out that what I thought were personal confidences to family were telecast to the world at large. Happily, I had said nothing horrific. I am a somewhat private person and see zero value in plastering confidential thoughts into the ether.
From now on I am sticking to emails or forums like this where some privacy is respected.
