Facebook is for people who have lots of time to waste posting, chatting and playing FarmVille.

Ex-Facebook user (who decided that real life outside of social networks is more interesting and productive).

MercyGoodness! I knew people 10 years ago who lacked e-mail accounts...in fact
I know some today. Those I happen to know have made a choice, share it when
asked (or, sometimes volunteer it)

Let's try this post again...

Mercy! I knew people 10 years ago who lacked e-mail accounts...still know some
today in the same condition. They've made a choice - just as I have to not
(never?) have a cell phone. Sometimes they've volunteered the reason(s) for
their choice, sometimes I've asked. The reasons have ranged from dinosauric
geezerism to they simply saw no need. In no case have I ever thought the less
of them for their choice.

Options are good, in both life and soaring XC...IMO.

For the record, I've yet to detect a compelling-to-me reason to become a
Facebook user.

Bob I still love your reason for not having an answering machine

Gotta love ya, Sean. To summarize your latest comments:

1. "W&W may work fine but the technology is obsolete." See my comment on the "Consumer Warning" thread about technology being a means to an end, not a goal.

2. "If you don't use Facebook, you're out of it." I've been on MySpace and then Facebook for years. I had a CompuServe email account when every ID was a series of numbers. I even remember CompuServe when I had a time-sharing terminal in my office. Look it up on Wikipedia if that doesn't mean anything; anyone who doesn't use Wikipedia must be stupid or in denial. I don't use FB for business and I agree that while the UI is sometimes useful (not NEARLY all of the time, though), the presentation doesn't work very well for a catalog application. I trust FB with my personally identifiable information about as much as I trust the Congress to spend my tax dollars wisely.

3. The classic bully's response: "I wasn't really insulting you; I just said all those mean things to kid you. It's your problem if you took it seriously. Don't be so sensitive."

I bet I could push an RAS thread up to 3000 to 4000 views in two days simply by posting the subject line "Sean (F2) Gets What He Deserves!!"...with a blank body text.

Brilliant response. Thanks for your "contribution..." Denial. Resistance to change. Disparagement. Got it. Impressed. Never seen that before... Sean F2 PS...up to 130 likes...in 2 days. When you said wings and wheels is "professionally displayed" I literally spit out my water. Too funny. That site is fine but is basically managed in MS word and has literally no organization or extensions outside of itself. I think it's fine but when the proprietor of that site starts calling up people and telling them to remove ads elsewhere Imagine the 90 ads is going to decline fairly rapidly.

Glider listed on W&W 4/1 morning. Sold 4/3 afternoon.
No denial- just fact.
No spitting required.
Any questions?

So Bob, I must ask, do you fly XC without cell phone? If so, whatever will be your good reasons to never carry a cell phone, I wouldn't blame anyone who will leave you to hitchhike back from a landout in the middle of nowhere...

Some technologies, like cell phone and spot are a must in anyone's landout kit. Flying cross country without them is foolish.
