<div dir="ltr">Hi chuck,<div><br></div><div>I use Facebook for family stuff and have just started adding Spridget folk as friends. I don't have any personal info in my profile and don't post any sensitive personal stuff, like when I won the lottery (I didn't), so I don't worry about it. In the early days many youngsters would post everything about their life...age, school, job income, sexual activity, etc. That info is now in Internet history and available for farming by anyone who wants it. </div><div><br></div><div>Think about it. If you post publicly that you will be in Florida for a week, starting on January 2, somebody could use that info to break into your house when you are away. If you post that on the Spridgets Team.net list, you may get invited to dinner while you are there. </div><div><br></div><div>There are so many people on Facebook who post stuff like my birthday party yesterday, that they naturally started interest groups. You just have to be careful. It is convenient to do all your one-stop posting though.<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><br></div><div>Allen Hefner</div>

Both Mary Anne & myself have never had accounts in the Twitter Facebook world. Concerns over big brother harvesting personal information and stories about very personal things not related to my vehicular passions are being well founded since America's last election and other areas has me almost frightened to check out a public social media site.</div><div dir="auto">Paranoid? I do not think so, just cautious about where I go and post anything.</div><div dir="auto">Is everyone really on a spridget Facebook site?</div><div dir="auto">Then my question is why? What benefit has that proven to offer over what existed here?</div><div dir="auto">Members here have ferried cars from coast to
coast and shared top secret rare parts from collections far and wide to keep our cars running or complete restorations around the globe. So ok, then what's wrong with the spridgets list or so bad that some migrated away. I'm not on a podium pounding my fist and wringing my hands over this. Simply excuse my ignorance , not understanding the attraction to move from a good very functional forum to another?.</div><div dir="auto">And sadly I concede to the fact of many list members ive known from a long time ago have passed away. But that should not be "the" reason for lacking posts or numbers of subscribers.
