I hear you George. It took me a long time to finally get onto Facebook simply because of that. I wanted my private life to remain just that. Then I found out my (similarly paranoid) brother was on Facebook and he showed me everything and how much control you actually have on there. You basically get to dictate exactly how much other people can see. Or you simply don't have to add anything at all. So I started a profile and I'm glad I did. Reconnected with all kinds of old friends and can keep in touch easier with relatives I rarely get the chance to talk to (cousin in the AF for instance). Not trying to talk you into it George, just sharing my experience.
