You make it sound like that's a bad thing...

My guilty pleasures: Rennlist and Twitter...totally addicted


Facebook allows people to connect anywhere in the world that wouldn't
connect otherwise ... I really don't understand the negative comments about it

When you spend too much time on Rennlist during the day, your boss gets pissed at you.
When your boss gets pissed at you, he fires you.
When your boss fires you, your wife gets pissed at you.
When your wife gets pissed at you, she hires a lawyer.
When your wife hires a lawyer, you have to hire a lawyer.
When you hire a lawyer, he gives you a big bill.
When your lawyer gives you a big bill, you have to sell your beloved 993.
When you have to sell your beloved 993, semi-retired guys like JP and me buy your 993 cheap.
Don't sell your 993 to JP or me. Stay off Rennlist at work.

never used facebook. I can see using it to keep up with someone out of the country, but from what I understand from friends who use it, people update it with the most uninteresting/worthless info. Oh well, I guess at 45yrs I am not hip and cool anymore. Thank goodness for that!

JP,

There is a 39K mile speed yellow 993 FS right now that has your name on it. Work another year and get the car this year. You only live once.

Remember guys, 9 to 5 is prime rennlist time, well except for the lunch hour -- that's when you dream up excuses for why your work isn't done.

I check Rennlist much more than FB, but the latter is an excellent way to see what's going on in people's lives. I don't live near a lot of my friends, so it's a great way to "stay in touch" in my busy life. It took me a few months to understand how Facebook would have any utility in my life, but I slowly began to see it.

Wow, maybe I should get a FB account, precious nuggets like that above are sure to endear me to thousands nationwide. But really, not having a FB account really menas I have about as many real friends as virtual ones...zero.
C'mon Joe, that's not true you have friends. Some of us have even driven several hours out of our way to visit you (well...okay.....your wife....you just happened to be home last time I stopped in )
