To be clear, it was a close game. I only beat Orlion by a few points.

But it shouldn't have happened! I was so far ahead! That'd be like some colonial riff-raff defeating the mighty British Empire!

So you're saying you would be the riff-raff?

One more FB pet hate:

See that person there? They're a person. And that one there? They're a person. I'm a person too. We're all people. Re-post if you're a person.

Oh, yes, Cambo. Very oh yes.

I friended a person a couple of weeks ago, an acquaintance. She posts up descriptions of what seems to be every poor shelter dog in New York and Chicago, mostly pit bulls, about to be put down.

she sounds like a determined crusader...

admittedly I do _like_ the idea of taking something like FB and choosing the times you'll break the rules, or "the way things are done"... using the system, the medium to serve your ends...

that said, I'm sure we could all use competence... when most everyone is likely to just lose interest... yeah, that doesn't serve our ends in the long-run.

fb has allowed me to keep in touch (and find) people i might otherwise lose track of.

I'm still debating deleting my Facebook account. I never use it, and just this week it's suddenly started spamming my email with notifications (even after I turned them off). But on the other hand I think about how it's the only real avenue I have should I choose to try to get back in touch with my friends from school and uni. I haven't kept in touch at all the last few years (I'm bad at that), but I'm not sure I want to totally cut off that route.
