All I want to know is how to get off Facebook, once and forever. A year or two ago, I had a solution and even posted it. At that time it worked, but apparently the FaceBookies (hey, I'm going to copyright that LOL) have outsmarted me and I find myself once again the target of Pokes and other things that I don't even understand. I'm over 65. I don't want any attention from anyone who does not come from the stuff I write here on the various lists within the DatabaseAdvisorsGroup and a few other leftist-lists to which I belong. but in short all of social-mediacrity I want OUT OF, and I know nothing short of abandoning everything I ever joined and starting over, posing (to quote Tom Waits's classic song, Step Right Up) as a 9-year-old Hindu boy.
