   I have ver mixed feelings about soshul meeja.  i fervently eschew it all   
   (apart from a few mailing lists and newsgroups, which don't count!) but   
   I then think I am like the people who refused to have one of those   
   new-fangled gadgets called a telephone.  I remember my father ranting   
   about one of my school teachers not having a telephone - he considered   
   it quite disgraceful.  There are, though, many instances - like this   
   Ancestry business - where I realise I am cutting off my nose to spite my   
   face.
