To me, Craig's list is officially taboo

I feel the same way about Facebook. I went for years refusing to do Facebook because I have a real life. However, I broke down about 2 years ago and got an account just so I could list on Facebook Marketplace. CL had gotten so bad (at least around here) that I had to try FB. That being said, Marketplace is ALL I use FB for. I have ZERO friends on FB, and I ignore EVERYTHING other than communications about things I am selling. In fact, I even set up a hotmail account that I use only for FB, and I only check it for sales communications. Then I purge everything. I even ignore friend requests from good friends and close family members. So when I say I don't do Facebook, that is what I really mean.
I couldn't have said this any better myself, and that's exactly what I recently did for parts- I created a FB account, but under the name "Claire Belle", for both of our dogs, Claire and Belle. I, or rather, the dogs, have exactly one friend on FB, but they do they have their own Gmail account for this.

Speaking of which, I should probably check that account one of these days...
