I think people need to realize that deactivation of an account means that none of your information is PUBLICLY accessible--just stored privately in case you want to reactivate it. I also think anyone who has placed photos or other content on Facebook that they wouldn't want to lose should think twice about DELETING their account information. You may find at some future time you will need to have the copy of the photos you uploaded to Facebook should you ever lose the copy on your computer. Joan In a message dated 2/7/2010 9:44:03 P.M.
