I joined Facebook quite a while ago, when it just first became available to non-college folks. Only one of my three 20 something offspring has an active account. Just today I hooked up with several friends from FidoNet days on Facebook . .none of them under 60 and one who started her web design business in 1994 and got her Facebook account as an alumna when it was still restricted to college people and alumni. Just saying, computer geeks have been around for five or more decades . . . and we read your site . . and link to it. “remember Facebook more fondly before their parents discovered it”
