about right

Reminds me of my friends problem a few weeks ago... he put an alias into facebook when he signed up, so instead of "joe jim bloggs", he called himself "joe jim"..... after he realised he could make his profile private to people he didnt like, he asked them to change his name to his real name.... after a week he got a reply saying his request was either unacceptable and/or misleading..... so basically, facebook refused to let him be called who he was... and then they told him he couldn't request it again for several weeks.

In the mean time, my wife changed her name to her maiden name so her friends would know who she was within a day.... and 2 weeks later changed it again to her married name. No questions asked..... slightly odd!! Is this a sexism thing?? I wonder!

I'm actually considering closing my facebook account... I must admit, it is nice seeing friends I haven't been in contact with for 15 years, but with problems using facebook app's, the constant stream of privacy issues, and this latest censorship or admin-cockup, I am starting to realise they aren't the harmless little alternative networking site they started out as.
