[kj] OT: I dislike Farcebook

[Per G Olsson]

	I second that.  I've re-connected with friends who I lost track of  
years ago and now surfaced in New Zealand and Burundi (!), so it has  
it's value.
	I thought some "Boxes""Applications" were fun during my first, say  
100 days, but now they novelty has worn off.  "Add 200 friends to see  
you results" and other crap has made me use it mainly as a chat-room...
	Most ads are appaling (you don't realise this, but most ads are  
machine translated from English to other languages , such as Swedish,  
and sound like they've been written by five year olds).
