I think I'll take out a Facebook account just to cancel it.
I can see why there's skepticism towards Facebook. There's a lot I don't like about it, including the founder, but for me it has been a way to reconnect with cousins on my dad's side as well as stay in touch with my mom's family. I have even found some people who went to school with my sister and my brother. They've been able to answer some questions that I will unfortunately never be able to ask my siblings and they have even shared what they remember about me as a little kid. So that's been what I use it for. As for reading the minutia of peoples' days...nah! That's why they have setting that can be adjusted!
