OK.. not sure when that happened, but I suspect it was right around when all that December changes crap happened... *grr* well, so much for being "open amongst friends/similar minds", as now aparently everyone on the planet is one's 'friend'.. sorry, I don't inherently want a faceless entity to know all about me, who my friends are, and what I find interesting - it's one thing when one opens up to people they know, it's another to essentially convert all our profiles and musings amongst friends into a giant freeform blog. Lets face it, if I had for some reason wanted to flaunt myself in front of the world in a pretentious manner, I WOULD START A friggin BLOG to do so! But, since many of you know, I'm not that sort, thus I pared down my profile, and will primarily revert back to IM and emails to talk to friends and would-be friends.

Sorry for the rant. I just wish there had been more forewarning of the change...............
