I recently resurrected my Facebook account for work, having closed it after they (FB) refused to remove the videos of beheadings. So, I am using this site against my better nature, and, for how much longer, remains to be seen. This morning, I had an email from Facebook, titled 'Do you know [and then her full name]', so although it rang no bells, I opened the page. I did not know the person, her family or any of her friends, so I'm guessing that my Yahoo email account has linked my facebook account with someone to whom I have sent an email in the past. I wish these pieces of software would stop connecting to each other without my consent; it's becoming more like Skynet every day.
Grrrrrrr!

Skynet is operational and people dont realise it, and when they do....it'll be too late to do anything about it!

You're right, CH, those T films seem very prescient.

As for the headline...I'll leave that to your imagination but remember even paranoiacs have real enemies.
