So I did the unspeakable and signed up on that Facebook thing.
Anyways, a couple days go by and I notice there's people being suggested that I actually know(and most are ones I want nothing to do with!!)!!!
I did not do that email check option thing as I thought it was a tad intrusive but it appears to me that Facebook "knows" things!!

everything you enter allows them to make a net of common friends and things that it thinks will interest you.
consider it the start of smart advertising

Let this be a valuable lesson to you!
