Agree with this, especially Facebook, if you believed most of what people post they are perfect and their life is fantastic always.

People think liking a post changes the world somehow!

Exactly and the server caches and backups will never be reached or touched.

Basically if it was uploaded to the internet, it stays there forever and can be found with enough determination and tools..

Well, the four of us were only charged with 4th degree misdemeanors. Similar to a traffic minor offense, pled down to excess honking of a horn during 11pm - 7am

So it was paid and dismissed before the GTG was totally over almost.

By the way, you each owe me 122.50

Thanks for this, I started on it this AM. Never knew I could.

Someone should create a master switch. There are so many of them.

Just finished it, not that bad. All but Zaba, which is apparently owned by Intelius now.
