Facebook – Danger Danger Will Robinson!
I have to begin this story by telling you I am no longer a participant on Facebook.
I was up on Facebook for a while last year, trying to participate in a group of my classmates who were planning a High School Class Reunion.

Godaddy Spam Response
The other day I received a SPAM at one of my domains that was obviously from a GODADDY hosted domain.
