Facebook can ONLY share what you offer.

Took me quite a while to sign up, but now I'm VERY glad I did,
I reconnected with past friends AND family that I'd lost contact
with.


I know of at least three people from this group who have signed up to
Facebook with completely made up information.

Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose if you're trying to reconnect
with people?

Personally I don't want to reconnect with anyone. I talk with all the
family and friends I want to. Old friends are just that, old friends.
Being a military brat I didn't exactly spend a lot of time getting to
know people when I was a kid - we were always moving. No deep ties there.

When I *did* sign up for FB a woman from High School (whom I'd been
trying to avoid since my 30's for various reasons) found me. She was
always a bit of a nutcase. That's fine fine when you're in school or
even in your 20's. By the time she found me on FB she was on her third
(or is it her fourth?) husband. She'd turned into a holy roller (i.e.
spouting the gospel). No, thanks.
