You may well have a good point there. How about raising this directly
with FaceBook? If you don't want to do so yourself for any reason, I'll
be happy to copy this post of yours there myself. Let me know, please!

Extract from 'A Guide to Facebook Security'

Another great tool to help you avoid clickjacking is Web of Trust (WOT).
WOT is a free browser tool that maintains a database of known safe sites
as well as malicious sites reported by the WOT community.

Attempt to visit a known malicious site and WOT warns you in advance.
The WOT download is simple to install; just visit www.mywot.com.

Security Tips
• Keep software up to date.
• Don’t click on suspicious links. • Use available security tools.

Facebook also has checks in place to detect malicious and spammy
websites. Adding WOT to the existing Facebook checks gives you one more
tool in your arsenal against hackers. The two checks work together to
provide a joint warning system if you attempt to visit a site reported
to have malware, phishing, or spam:

Since day 2 in the navy you have never had
an original thought.

Even your ad on the dating site was pathetic.

You and arnold would make a good team...***** men.
