   Standing in the dark, rainy shadows of a city alleyway, I spied the   
   Replicant Lukas Mariman covertly transmitting a message to renegade   
   friends in alt.fan.blade-runner.  Tracking...

   Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. FWIW, I think you know which people   
   DO 'get' you over the past decade. There are plenty of options on FB   
   for lowering or raising the amount of things that pop up on your own   
   page coming from each other individual. There are also options to   
   ignore invitations from certain applications or individuals, etc.  One   
   thing I found useful is to go through the list of application settings   
   to make sure that the apps don't update whatever when they feel like   
   it.  Other people really don't need to know that I bought a sword in   
   whatever game.  And a few games, quite frankly, other people don't   
   even need to know I play.  Having established and figured out what's   
   what, I'm now reducing, especially eliminating activities that are   
   just about achieving a 'higher score' as ultimately that is rather   
   pointless.   
      
   Ummm... I guess that's it ... ummm ... I'll be off to FB then...
