Spot on. That's exactly how I've been feeling about it. The only thing that has been keeping me attached is I have so many friends that live far away. Given the nature of busy lives, I fear those connections will fade even with the best of intentions, and I value them. Some go back over 35 years.

I was curious about the deactivate and whether it was a true delete. Thanks for the heads-up. If there's one thing I hate about FB, it's so insinuous, and once it's got you, it goes out of its way to make it hard for you to change or remove things.
