then, it changed. you could only email people if you were a member. i was a member for a year but stopped because it was stupid- you could only READ an email if you were a member, so I emailed people but didn't know if silence meant they weren't a member or that they didn't want to hear from me.
lately I've been getting email from the page "Someone signed your guestbook!" that is, someone visited my profile and left a note. BUT you can't see who unless you are a member. a few moments ago i joined to see who all had signed. it was people I've never heard of. I'm guessing they get memeber to sign guestbooks so us dumb fucks will join to see who signed.
Will Obama stop this?

I cannot believe how many high school and college people I'm now in touch with through Facebook. I guess that could be good or bad, but it basically was better than flying to Albany for my reunion this summer for finding out what's up with my old friends (though, in retrospect, that trip would have fulfilled my mileage points dilemma!).
And. It's. Free. (And there are endless Obama groups there, if you are into that sort of thing.)
Maybe you could write to classmates and tell them you are deceased? That was my sister's foolproof plan for dealing with Columbia Records.
