Hiiiiii Rana Maybe you could contact facebook and ask them what It means. If you were in contact with anybody else on the book I suppose that person would have anything you wrote in their old pages Its an interesting question. I myself gave no personal info except my name. I am surprised at what some people have put in. I myself am a facebook addict. I have found and been found by relatives I knew about vaguely and one young girl I worked with contacted me and it was wonderful to be remembered. I love the games and to spy on my grandchildren. Of course I am not really spying I just like the way it sounds. My grandchildren had to except me as a friend in order to read what they talk about. Some of my adult children's friends have also friended me which also is nice. I know some of them wont let their parents friend them on facebook. I am fortunate that I have a really wonderful relationship with my kids etc. that they are comfortable enough to let me easedrop looooool. I really enjoy facebook Also My granddaughter has changed her name 4 times already in search of the perfect name and my other Granddaughter has joined at least 100 causes so if facebook keeps the info I cant imagine how they would back up everything But I am completely paranoid and I think if I would leave facebook I would change my name after reading your concerns. Ema As we closed our account, a Facebook team message was emailed to us (in essence; not direct quote) that anytime we wished to return we could, and things would be just as they are today. Do I understand this message to mean that our information is permanently stored on Facebook? This effort to use a venue such as Facebook has been another learning experiece for us. In conclusion, I think the problem is that we did not fully understand the purpose of Facebook. Considerably after the fact, we have read its statements of purpose. TIA Rana
