Indeed. I returned something to HD my wife bought on line because she
didn't like it. The return desk has a digicam there, taking snaps of
everyone who comes to the store to return something.

yeah, but now they don't have to wait till you are 16 and a lot of folks
don't get licences.. etc.... Not to mention, cc and dl are only one pic,
from one angle. The DOD had over 250 pictures of my kid from about any
angle you could ever think of... In fact they can if they already
haven't, chart and record the way my kids stand, walk, move, their voice
pattern... etc..... just from FB...

I'm sure the DOJ will find those 250 photos invaluable.

It is really seldom worth the effort for the crap you link.

Well, perhaps if you weren't using a 19th Century news reader like
Forte
Agent...

There are a number of reasons for using a simpler news reader than
Outlook or some other bloatware.
For one thing, it runs off a thumb drive and will execute on any
windoze platform without actually being installed. That is handy if
you have more than one machine.

You must follow some usenet groups other than rec.boats, because
carrying a thumb drive to be able to read this one from any windoze
machine seems a waste of time and effort, considering the lack of
content here.

Facebook, interestingly, updates itself to its users no matter what
machine they are on. If I visit with my iMac and then the next day visit
with my tablet, my stuff to read is just where I left it after I logged
out with the iMac...the old stuff I've already read is way down at the
bottom of the list. Of course, no one really gives a damn about usenet
anymore, so development ceased ages ago.

Facebook is a marketing tool, data mining specifically. There is no
other value to anyone but its users than the data and their
interconnections.

You don't need FB for that...I'm sure your face is on the post office wall.

Can stuff be downloaded to a kindle from the e-book groups?

Yes, indirectly, through your computer and a USB cable, or uploaded to
Amazon for a small fee.

Here are some links you might find useful:

Thanks, Wayne. Good to know in case the library runs out of e-books.

Um, how does a library "run out of e-books"???

They only have so many licenses for a book. You check out E-books just
like regular books as far as the copyright holder is concerned..

But they don't run out. Someone returns, another gets it. Just like a
real book.

If that's the case, they must have thousands on Snottie.

Insane Scotty thinking Facebook is going to take over the world.. Like a
guy I heard call in on the radio yesterday, claiming that he thinks
China has GPS coordinates for every American and are going to use them
to send bumblebee like drones to inject us with poison!!!! Just about as
sane....

I don't give a **** what FB tracks. There are ways to stay "private" on
FB and there are apps available that help you customize it to your
liking, including the elimination of virtually all advertising.

Through FB, I've been able to re-connect with dozens of people I've
known over the decades and meet some new people, too, including actual
boaters from all around the world, and I've hooked up with a couple of
SIGs that have some really funny stuff, travel info, food, et cetera,
and all this without any of the right-wing assholes who have destroyed
rec.boats.

Yet you appear here daily. I just don't know what to make of that. ;-)

Maybe we could use the Home Depot card, which is free, as a voter ID card?

Or would that be asking too much of prospective voters?
