I use this account for FB notifications but I never gave them my password when I registered with them. I added friends through the already existing network. Through the Friends you may know/suggestions box on my FB home page I now see names of people with whom I don't have any common friend but who are on my personal email database. There is no way that FB can connect them to me through their network. So, Would it be possible or am I just getting too nervous about it? Btw I tried to remove applications from my account and it was literally impossible. Thanks again for your help and advice! L. Hi Joseph,
