Arrgh! That's mainly why I axed my Facebook account last winter. I was depressed, and finally just couldn't take any more annoying stuff like that. I spent lots of time with the Facebook controls trying to hide content from the people who tended to share that kind of thing, too, but it never seemed to work really well.

There are about five people I miss having contact with on Facebook, so I've been considering starting a new account. Or I was until I read your post.
