I am now in the Facebook Collective. (I know the "official spelling" is that wretched modern "Hey we're friendly because it's all in lower case" thing, but I refuse to abide by that, except for lazyfatbum because he did that BEFORE it was mandated by marketing.
Also, "that was quick", because the very instant I create my blank slate with literally no data but my e-mail, lazy sends me an invite. Apparently the e-mail's enough.
After digging around deep, DEEP into the options on the site to properly disable the oddly intrusive privacy settings of Facebook that it has become infamous for, I think I'm set for the moment. They really did hide a lot of stuff all over there, the "privacy settings" page really doesn't have much there, at least much I care all that much about.
Anyone that wants to access my new and utterly blank page can use my old "exclusively for junk mail" e-mail address: kbanks64@yahoo.com
This is an experiment. So far, Facebook seems to know way too much about my hobbies already. How does it already have a database of incredibly obscure video games, including art for Clash at Demonhead? That's MY obscure knowledge, you can't have it!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
