Same here - to stop emails, you just need to change your privacy settings so that you don't get any emails. If you have issues with any apps or games, you can block them, and they won't be able to use any of your data. People complain about Facebook security, but only because they don't understand it. I have my friends grouped by how I know them, and I can apply permissions accordingly, a bit like Windows groups. I'd done that from the start, so whenever someone new gets added, they get added to another group or they can't see ANYTHING about me. That's one of the reasons I don't understand the furore about employers looking people up online. If you've set your permissions properly, people who don't know you can't see anything...

I've been using Facebook for a few years. I don't get ANY emails from anything related to Facebook. I keep my stuff there pretty well locked down. I've reconnected with friends I had lost touch with for 30 or more years that without this tool I would not have been enjoying these renewed friendships. I have friends there who I have never met in person - much like my AccessD and DBA-OT friends. To each their own. I think you could have just adjusted your security settings to stop notifying you on anything and to not allow anyone to see any of your info and you would have been fine with it. Change the email address to a bogus one. Tell your current email system that anything coming from there is spam. Gmail seems pretty good at catching that kind of thing.
