• Would an OTRS volunteer be kind enough to process the OTRS ticket for the Successor album mentioned in the story? Kaldari (talk) 22:00, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
• I never went to Facebook at home. The fact that a computer at my church says don't go to Facebook tells me it's not safe and I avoid sites that aren't safe at home. Plus with my slow Internet my computer can't handle the information overload. I have less than 40 friends and go to most of their timelines maybe once a week at a library. One person in particular has a ton of what I believe to be legitimate news stories. Under these circumstances, how much do you want to bet I don't actually read any of those stories? Plus if I click on anything, I don't get back the person's timeline the way it appeared before I clicked. I get a few recent posts and then have to wait ... and wait ... and wait ... for all the other stuff I already read to load once again.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 17:57, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
