To all of you using Facebook as a marketing tool to promote your business or post your news stories, knock it off! Get this stuff off my page or remove yourself as my "friend" or I will do so. This particularly means you newspaper people who are ruining Facebook for everyone. This is my personal page where I like to keep track of friends and acquaintances, not a place of commerce. I do not appreciate being used. It's pathetic. If you want to be my "friend" because we actually are friendly with each other, or you would like to be, great. I have many newspaper pals. I want you here on this basis, but I don't want your stuff clogging up my site. Thank you."
