That's just it oak--I totally agree with what you're saying, which I really clarified in my most recent response to Dow. I completely love what I've gained from Facebook, and it has become my second-most visited site (right behind good ol' KA, of course!). I did dive in headfirst, and I have thoroughly enjoyed re-establishing contacts with friends from college and high school, along with all the great coworkers I left behind when I took my disability retirement. That's what I was trying to make clear in my original post, but must have failed: I am not at all worried about adding my KA friends to my Facebook list because of what they might read about me there, rather, just the opposite is true. If I were to add my KA friends to my Facebook friends list, it is inevitable that AS and KA would be mentioned frequently on my profile page, and hence, on my friends' live feed page. Because of how I have completely opened myself up here at KA and exposed secrets that I've never told anybody, I really don't want my non-KA friends wandering over here to KA to see what's what at this site. I would be very easy for my friends to spot (totally forgot about the little matter of my picture being on here, the same pic I use on my FB profile!), and I really don't want the vast majority of them poking around in this part of my life. A select--very select--few, sure, no problem, but not my entire friends' list. This is my most private and most sacred space on the net, and hey, what can I say, I selfishly want to keep it to myself so that I can decide when I let my friends into this world and control how much they get to see.
I hope that clears things up, because I do totally agree with your "dive in" attitude toward Facebook. I have no doubt that by keeping my FB and KA worlds separate, I am missing out and making some good friendships even better, but to me, that is the price that has to be paid to keep KA to myself.
Make more sense that way?
