So true. I'll be sending this to everybody I know who uses Facebook. I got lucky and saw the down side very early on--2007 to be exact. Someone posing as a Nigerian kid I used to send money to tried to get me to send him $15k so my name could be on a building in a town I've never heard of.

When he stopped harassing me, a friend of his started in with the same pitch. At the time I was angry--now I think they did me a favor.

Great piece--I love your writing.

I injured my arm recently so I can only type for short periods of time. So when I read exactly what I think when someone else writes it, it's like therapy :-)
