   Yes, even not using that I can see that would be the situation.   
   People would start going off topic and it would branch off all   
   over the place.   
      
   AA>BTW..  yes, stay away from FB.  It's loaded with trackers and

   You don't need that. If it's accessed by Browser, mine blocks   
   trackers but my phone offers an App for Facebook that likely   
   would support that sort of activity.   
      
   That said, more and more I'm running into sites that won't let   
   me load their pages because they can't spy on me through my browser.   
   I've run into a number of pages that will lock my phone solid as   
   they try brute force to do their thing.   
      
   Way back the BBS systems were a little busier, unless there are   
   a lot more lurkers out there than I know.. But we're all talking   
   a fair bit here and there's a wide range of countries represented   
   by various users so you can get ideas or opinions from a wider   
   range of people with their experiences giving them ideas you may   
   not have considered.
