Stand tall and proud. You probably just scared some little old granny
or gramps off the internet for good. They've heard about all that
hacking and phishing that goes on and didn't really want a FB account,
but were talked into it anyway by well meaning relatives.

Heh. Well according to its profile it's far from a granny - that's the
most amusing part - most youngsters these days seem to know more about
email domains, the Internet in general and/or computers than I do. Guess
not in this case <eg>

So says Mr "Popularity" Lucas himself. I see you're now using the nick
"Aussie" Peter me ol' mate, me ol' pal - could it be to avoid kf's
perhaps?

Anyway, how one can compare this to the People of Wal-mart thing escapes
me...

We get lots of 'mislaid' emails (e.g. people making a typo in an address,
or not taking it down properly when it is read out to them over the
phone). No problem with that, we ignore them. But this one took the cake -
it entered the wrong email address itself, which is staring it in the face
every time it tries to do a password reset, and yet it still tried 7
times. And a quick google shows it has used this exact same email address
on quite a few other 'social networking' sites/forums so I think it
actually deserved a little 'taking the piss'.

I would be cautious doing that...Facebook has your IP address and they
KNOW who you are.

Taking advantage of someone's faults for your pleasure is the same, be it a
facebook page or posting their photo for fun and profit.

Weeeeellll, if anybody believes that, then there'd be a bunch more
Facebook-ers in jail by now. Luckily, they only seem to catch the StuPid
ones ;-)

Anyway, on the other tentacle, I've had an up-close-and-personal
experience of the latest and greatest Bells and Whistles the alleged 9th
World Wonder has to offer - and I still can't see why 400-odd million
people rave about it. <shrug>

That's great.

I have this one FB friend whom I wish that I'd never accepted. He's a
recovering drunk, and he's always posting all this sickeningly
positive stuff.
Examples:
23 hours ago: "[his name] is touched by the Great Spirit"
A few days ago: "my nature is love and strength. i overcome all fear
with the power of peace."
The day before that: "I am safe because love is the only reality."

I guess it's better than waking up in an alley, covered in your own
piss, but it's still sickening.

Go to friends, find the one you wish you'd never ok'd and click block
and you'll never see him again.

He's a nice guy, and we have mutual friends. If I'd just never
responded I could more easily use the excuse of wanting to limit my
number of FB friends, which is also true.

Nonsense! You love it. If you didn't you'd "unfriend" (what a dumb

That's too much code talking for me. I have no idea what you're
