[ale] _W_T_F_!!!!

[Jim Kinney]

I think social networking is a total waste of time. However there are people
in my life that that matter to me and they think it's better than fresh figs
with a dollop of goat cheese all wrapped in prosciutto (YUM!). And since
they are posting pics of their current adventures on that abomination
faceplant, I gave up and signed up an account.

I was asked _before_ I could tweak privacy settings if I wanted to search my
gmail contacts for "friends". I selected "NO" (didn't see a _HELL_NO_
button).

So imagine my shock and horror when faceplant offered to make friends of a
list of people from my gmail contacts anyway.

Most telling was the contact to a bogus account I use for testing that has a
garbage name (like aassddffgg at gmail). I had just done a mail exchange
between that account an my normal account about 2 hours earlier so it was a
"recent" contact. At the time I was signing up on faceplant I did have gmail
open and I was logged in. But I did NOT give faceplant my permission to
scour my contacts.

Zuckerman gets big "YOU SUCK" in my list of people to subpeona for crime
against humanity.

 Faith is a cop-out. If the only way you can accept an assertion is by
faith, then you are conceding that it can’t be taken on its own merits.
