Since there are FAcebook users here. Can one join to just see these picture links my relatives send, without anyone being able to send me anything, or know I exist on there??????
Well, there's no 'online now' light, so you don't have to worry about anyone knowing when you lurk. :03:
As far as friend requests, there's nothing that says you have to accept them, so if you are only friends with your family members, their posts are all that will show up in your stream.
I know it may be hard to believe, but there are quite a few boaters out there who don't hang on this site. If you aren't afraid to try something new, you might actually find that you enjoy seeing posts by some of the European P1 or Australian teams. Or seeing pictures posted by fans of some of the American teams such as AMF, Statement, Aqua-Mania, Crazy Chicken and others.
And then there's the whole 'social' aspect... you learn things about folks you might not otherwise know... like Tom A is headed to Costa Rica, Ned loves to play Top Gun and Dave P is fond of wine, steak and cigars,,, :26: :sifone:
It's like most everything in life- it's what you make it.
