[DeTomaso] POCA on Facebook

[audionut at hushmail.com]

You don't need an account to look at fb stuff.  Just disable cookies
before you go to any particular page and the "You must register" crap
doesn't block it. After a year or two on Facebook, about 5 years ago
or so, I couldn't take it anymore and committed fb suicide. 
Never regretted it, never went back. You guys in here are all I need.

wish
there were a simple way to disconnect myself from it.
