So for example, if you have friends on facebook, it will correlate duplicate friends from you friends and then suggest them to you as potential mutual friends



But that's the problem...

I'm not on FaceBook so I can not be a "friend" on anybody's list.

The only link to me is via my Hotmail address, so it would have to assume
that all these people have my Hotmail address on their FaceBook profile

(...does facebook even keep e-mail address lists, or is it just by "friends" ?  )

Also, the list of suggested friends is WAAYY too diverse for any of them
to know each other
( borther-in-law in the US, neighbor, guy I play basket-ball with,
cousin's wife in MTL , etc... )  .  There is absolutely no way any of these people know each other.
... not even remotely...

Like I said, the only link I can see,
is if these people have my Hotmail address in their profile.
(... but then, how to explain the 3 or 4 people I've never heard of
who couldn't possibly have my e-mail address... )

Wierd...
(...and taking up too much of my "precious" time to worry about )
(... moving on...)

Then someone recommended you as a friend and gave Facebook your email.


Retiring soon...
