   On principles I seriously dislike opening a public page that demands I   
   identify myself by using Facebook or similar.   
      
   Thus I created a separate FFx profile just for using Facebook separate   
   from any other browsing activity, so that they can not track me more   
   than absolutely necessary. And I use it only with some friends.   
      
   Thus I hesitate from opening a link found on Usenet that requires Facebook.
