yes you do freerepublic is considered social media... but of course I am totally anonymous here. Well, maybe I am! Not that I couldn't be found out, but I've never had the slightest inclination to go anywhere near Facebook, and that inclination is on a downward trend.
About two weeks ago, I set up a Facebook account. An extended neighborhood group has a page where members can only post if they're part of the group. Because of its purpose, real pictures and names are necessary.
I'm real cautious about what I post on FB.
