State of eLynah Address

I could see an eLynah or eLynah competitor on Facebook. Not that I'm in favor. I waste enough time on FB and I'd feel obligated to check FB-eLynah every 15 minutes. Or less.

If Rich had not mentioned Hockey-L, I would have. To this old timer the strange thing about the dominance of social networks is that the model of proprietary online communities failed big time when it was tried in the 90s (AOL, Prodigy, CompuServe) in favor of providers letting everyone on the internet. And yet it is taking over in its current incarnation...

When all of your personal information gets sold to the highest bidder by some mafioso in Moscow, you'll see how free it is.::help::

Hadn't heard that before, but I wholeheartedly agree.

And I haven't been here in like a decade, and logged in solely to find Rich's email address for an unrelated issue, and lo and behold I see the same old names... so yeah.
