It goes to show how different we all are in situation and preferences.
Regarding phones, I avoid as much as possible having a little radio
transmitter close to my head, so I avoid where possible the use of a cell-
phone for voice, and also cordless phones in the house. I prefer a landline
even though it does have some (minor to me) inconveniences.
I use facebook for trivial stuff, but when it gets serious, never.
I think I got too deeply into FB before I realised the advantages of what
Nathan has done to disguise his identity. At first it never crossed my mind
that it could be important.
