Nah - no funny looks just them backing away slowly without making eye contact

In the city I'm in about 25% of the population has facebook accounts. That said my luddite survival metre is set to agitated by the very concept.

Apparently, even private correspondence posted to the site becomes the property of facebook and it is being used as a powerful market research tool. The U.S. intelligence services are also theoretically involved (shareholders), this last one isn't a bad thing of course - the more info they have on me the less likely they are to get confused and waste time (eg. http://foia.fbi.gov/foiaindex/einstein.htm - You and I may not be famous but I'm sure that twenty minutes wasted from a paranoid could be better spent hunting Jihadist funding channels).

I guess you misunderstood my intentions.
I'm not "for" Facebook that much (I have not even posted a single personal information there), but since it is a fact that millions of people are there and since we're all here supposed to promote our favourite game as much as possible, it is not bad to have a presence there.
Just for those who might search for "IL-2" keywords and happen to not know of our great sim...

Wikipedia will explain it for them.

I'm for the group. I'm just one of those people who got a case of nerves about the potential of technology round about August 1945

Lol this reminds me of the time when I was sitting at the bus station, listening to music with headphones.

An old man told me

'That's a cd isn't it?'

'Yes' I replied.

'Yes yes, the cd. It's gonna replace the radio!'

Ermmm no.

I some times get the feeling that the 'old man rant' mode gets the better of you guys.

Go for it mate,any promotion of this game is good , I think some of the old folks are scared of being shot down by some 15 year old kid

I wonder what he would've said if you'd had had an MP3 player?
