Early this morning I got a flood of emails/copies of posts from
members of the rpca facebook group. This has never happened to me in
the past. In fact, I thought I'd deactivated my account last year.
I've deactivated it again.

To those whose FB accounts sent me purr requests... of course you have
them. But please understand. I don't use FB. I don't like FB.

There's deactivate and delete. To delete it completely, you have to fly
through rings and hoops to accomplish it. I think you're gone now
because
I got a message that we were no longer "friends".

How kind of FB to inform you we're no longer friends! Yet another reason
to dislike FB. It's not the members I dislike, it's FB itself. I still
like you!

Speaking of Facebook, is there anybody here who can tell me if it's possible
to send a private message to a "friend"? I got a notice that one of my
"friends" is having a birthday this week. I don't recognize the name. I
have a number of friends from this group whose names I don't know, but when
I saw a list of mutual friends, I realized they must be from here. However,
there are only two mutual friends with this person. One is from this group,
but another is a Toastmaster.

I'd like to go through my list and, if I can't figure out how I know the
person, send them a message that didn't appear on Facebook, asking how I
know them or if they'd mind if I "unfriend" them. I don't want to hurt
anybody's feelings by just "unfriending" to start with.
