Okay,

      I won't say "I don't do FaceBook" I don't by the way. Haven't figured it out, then there's the photo thing. Being a Museum Director and Model Builder keep the old brain occupied, and the politics of the Museum sometimes sours my day. The New Braunfels Museum and Model Club is at times a confusing lot, of Modeling, Dealing with the not so nice real world neighbors(They're Greedy) and all that will ruin one's day. And the Members who don't like masks!

      And what makes it worse our Neighbors, have support from the National Arts and Theater council and we stand alone. We can't even get Union Pacific RailRoad to stand with us and it's on their Property!! So we have our Board Meetings and I go through the process, then Come home to two very Nice ladies who have no interest in the Museum at all. So I have to keep all of it to myself!

        There is a past President who lives closeby. He has his own started Model Train, layout, But every time we get together it devolves into Personal and Past military service talk. Plus, God Bless Him, he forgets a lot of what we talk about and I have to go over it again. Oh Well. Plus trying to fix the trains he messes up between visits.

I don't do Facebook.  Too many undisclosed privacy intrusions associated with that place.  Nothing is worth that.

Create a fake you. Use a throwaway gmail account, put no real personal information on it.

Call yourself Eagle Cash, Pigeon Dollar, Cuckoo Peso, whatever. Lurk at the open model pages, find one that suits you. MSU, make s--- up.

Ramp up the privacy settings and you'd be invisible to others.

Already did that once, just for the purpose of checking the privacy of a friend's account.  Everything I provided to Facebook was fake information...except for my e-mail address of course...have to have a real one for them to verify your account.  No other personally-identifying information was shared.  A few days later, I start getting automated "friend" requests, and not from strangers.  Those requests came from the accounts belonging to family members, all of whom were in my Gmail contact list.  I called every one of my relatives and asked them if they had sent me a friend request, and they all said the same thing "No.  I didn't even know you were on Facebook."  I didn't authorize Facebook to access my personal e-mail contact list, and sure as hell didn't authorize them to use it for that purpose.  MAJOR privacy violation, possibly to a criminal extent.  That is why I will never go anywhere near that place.
