Facebook is the sole external way left to log in. A local login and password were generated and sent by email and the old (non-Facebook) logins deactivated. Score another one for Facebook.com in the login consolidation wars."

    No love for Facebook. I've never joined and won't join just because they're the only choice
    for some web site of questionable use. Twitter is my social network choice, because they
    are more open; my words, good or bad, aren't hidden from non-members.

    I have to chuckle when I see people adamantly say
    they won't join / haven't joined Facebook.

    Just make it simple and say, you don't have enough
    friends to warrant joining.

    Facebook is a tool. If you don't know how to use a
    tool, then yes... DO NOT PICK IT UP.
