Do you not realize that you are putting your name and company email in your post ?

@Troubleshooter I just looked at the blogs and had no problem. All I can think of is that your using your company equipment to have as much trouble as you having. I only use a desktop PC and it works just fine.

Company equipment? Nope. Itâs 100% mine. The email address is a band name.
This is the blog page:
When I get to the comments, it is a Facebook comment box with a Facebook login.
After using it briefly in order to locate some old classmates, I deleted my Facebook account.
IMHO, very little good comes from that site, and I am not conceited enough to think that anyone cares about where I ate dinner last night, or what store I just left, or other truly trivial factoids.
So you canât comment on the blogs without a FB account?
Iâm sure someone somewhere appreciates your feedback, but I doubt it will change anything. The folks who made that decision likely thought through the issues and decided to do this knowing a few of us might not like it.
Without the Car Talk radio show driving traffic to this site, theyâre going to have find new ways to generate revenue or the site might go away. Iâd rather have it in some form than not at all.
Idonât have a FB account either but my class now has a page and my old work place has one for the old timers so maybe sometime, I dunno. I thought you used to be able to read at least the main pages on FB without joining.
My brief encounter with Jack Nicklaus was pleasant enough. It was my first time at a NASCAR cup race. The Winston Western 500 at Riverside California late January 1974. A 3.275 mile road course with all the big name drivers. Petty, Pearson, Yarborough, Allison Brothers, and more. My buddy and I paid $12 each to drive into the infield, park, and spend Friday night to Sunday evening. Friday night was a huge party. Saturday morning race was International Race Of Champions (IROC) followed by the tier 2 Late Model 2 years old or later cup cars which is currently Xfinity series. Saturday night was a huger party. With the cup race on Sunday. During the cup race I was leaning on the fence at turn 7 when a man walked up and stood beside me. He looked familiar and was dressed a bit odd. His slacks and golf shirt were not really unusual but his loafers with tassels were a poor choice for the infield with long walking distances and sometimes uneven ground. He said âexcuse me. Do you know what position number something car is inâ? I think it was Donnie Allison. I told him and he recorded it in a 5X7 inch notebook said âthank youâ and watched the race for a few minutes before walking away. I am not a golfer our fan but had seen photos of Jack Nicklaus in sports magazines and realized it was him. I wondered why he was in the infield with a $12 ticket and not in the VIP seats which were nothing like the current VIP seats. Did he realize as a race fan the infield offered an opportunity to view the entire race one or 2 turns at time as opposed to 2 turns and pit row total or was he a cheapskate. I donât know.
I did the same thing. I contacted old classmates, military members, and long lost friends/relatives. I was contacted by a former work/military friend who included a link. The link was nonsense and my email was hacked by the smiley faced little Chinese bastards. I telephoned my friend and they did not post the link on Facebook. My email account was locked by MSM. They sent me an unlock code by EMAIL!!! I had to open a yahoo email account and have the MSN idiots send the code to that. Later I sent a Facebook friend a birthday wish and it happened again. I still download Grandkid photos but never ever post on Facebook. When you post on Facebook it is accessible to your friends, their friends, their friends⊠No thank you! I have so far been able to comment directly to the CarTalk blogs with no Facebook involvement âthat I know ofâ.

A female friend of mine isâI thinkâaddicted to Facebook. While I canât prove that there is a connection, her e-mail has repeatedly been hacked, while mine has never been hacked. Yes, I know that this doesnât prove anything, butâŠwhy take chances with that (IMHO) semi-useless site.

I thought it was Google that had the major hacking?
