thanks Alan.. welcome to the party! Deleting FB is hard because they trapped your contacts and you cant reach them any other way.. I remeber abour 6 years ago facebook changed ALL our private email addresses to facebook email ID;s.. and from that day on i had less and less if my friends email ID's .. I almost never email most of my old friends so if i close FB down its a REAL problem.. therefore I just keep it as an address book, lol!
best of luck here!
