The biggest problem is that people want to tell the whole story, and they write letters that are way longer than anything I could possibly run.

Each week I am forced to revise my original opinion that Facebook is a great innovation for keeping people in touch, to believing that it is merely a canvas for members to act out strange, unresolved conflicts and desires.
