I am lucky in that I am not active on most social networks. Had a fb account when it first started and realized that it was trash. Same for twitter, linkedin.

Nobody follows me anywhere and I get 1-2 spam emails per month, almost no phone ones. Not sure what I'm doing right, or perhaps everyone figured out I'm not worth it.

And huge kudos to DU and the MIRT team for keeping this site mainly clean and friendly!
