The other days I submitted a message to Clayart regrading my inability
to access a link on facebook. This morning I received an email from
Facebook (dated the day after my message hit this list):

"Hi Paulette,
Use the automatic Friend Finder for (my email address - now removed so
that it will not go to a search engine). Now it will be easier than
ever to share and connect with your friends...."
I am concerned that someone may have signed me up - and since this is
the only place I ever discussed not being on facebook and members of
this list have access to my email address and name (and this came
right after my post) I am wondering if someone on this list signed me
up OR if this is spam. Did anyone else get this?
Just to make it very, very plain... I have absolutely no interest in
being on facebook or any other social network - my time is filled from
morning to night (clay is only part of my life) and I do not have time
to connect with virtual friends - if I want to do that I will write
them an email - or pick up the phone. It is not that I am incapable of
joining... I just do not want to join. That is my position. I do not
want to be connect through facebook or anything like it!
Before I go off the deep end... did others get this? If not does
anyone know why it would look like I have signed up for Facebook?...or
been signed up? ... or is this just a marketing ploy, and how would
they know my name and email address?
Thanks for any information or guidance that you can give me.

Paulette,

Someone tried to invite you--probably via their address book. Just simply
reject it if you do not want to join.
