People may regard me as a modern day luddite  :) but Facebook and Twitter are absolute NO NOs

Facebook is funded by analysing all your preferences, brand mentioning etc and I haven't the time to post on that and look at all my friends stuff.  If they want to email me they can and Facebook won't profit from it either.  If they want to share photos it's easy enough, and I can't see any advantage in joining up just to post to vast amounts of 'friends'.  You can always email the same thing to a 'group' which serves the same purpose. I'm just a founder member of the Grumpy Old Men Club.

As am I.

I regard Facebook and Twitter i the same way as COLD CALLING and nobody likes that.  I still receive calls for PPI misselling, computer problems, conumer questionnaires etc etc

And Facebook reserves the right to use any photos posted there for their financial gain......

I agree Facebook is a total pain but if Mark had not seen it there ,we would not have seen it. You can look without joining.

I have seen hundreds of this dactylorhiza in the wild and never one like that. I wonder if it has crossed with something else.

Only some Facebook photos are visible to non-members -yes,  we are lucky that Mark found this public  photo.
