Hi Eric & Jim, I use (or more accurately, read) social media much more now, too, but certainy don't trust it much for sharing much personal info... particularly certain Quad-related info. But I suppose in these more recent years of many people oversharing anything & everything, maybe those who were once shy to engage via email feel less noticed among the throngs of social media users. For the most part, I still try to keep my real name and/or full-face photo off FB. As for Twitter, Instagram, and others... they're read-only in my book, and only rarely at that! Regardless, glad to see some dinosaurs remain!
