To avoid Facebook's never-ending problems,
cancel your account.
If you need a page to gain access to the site
(a) create a new page under a pseudonym
(b) create a sketchy profile that includes nothing real about you;
(c) establish a junk email address @myway.com to list
If you want to re-establish some essential connections
(d) befriend them under your pseudonym; they will respond "How do I know you?" -- you reply with an email from the address you usually use to contact them in the traditional way -- not thru Facebook.
RESULTS:
Your friends know who you are. No one else will.
You will save your privacy and lots of time.
