Crap! That sucks, but I get it. Never had FB or Twitter so my sole internet social media type thing is here really. It will free up some time but your awesome content will be missed.Firing up the BGE in Covington, GA

Never did the FB or twit thing either, so I perfectly get why you eggited, Blake. And, blasting, you are right. Five years ago the label of heretic was unavoidedable if you dared admit social networking was not your cup of tea. We eggheads have a common thread; we like slow-smoke cooking and learning how up our game without feeling the need to bare our souls. Tried LinkedIn 10 years ago; a year later released myself on my own recognizance. Never felt more liberated. Some of us were never meant to be the social butterfly. And placing boundaries on your privacy doesn't make you strange. Good luck.Beef...It's what's for dinner tonight.

I get the FB and Twitter deal but going submerged and undetected on the forum seems to be a different order of magnitude. Regardless, all the best.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I, for one, am a Twitter fan.I use it primarily as a new source; real life, sports and otherwise. It's easy to scroll through and determine interest level. There are often links to stories I would have not otherwise seen and read. I consider it my "newspaper". I follow BGE and Ray Lampe, for example, with links to new recipes to try.As far as tweeting about me, where I am, what I'm doing, no one cares. That's the best part,New Albany, Ohio

The Gub'mint already knows more about you than you want to know. The social aspect of what we share here and maybe on facespace is only a small fraction of the info already gathered on each of us.If the Gub'mint wants to gather data on me to learn that I'm an Egghead who likes fantasy football and nekkid wimmens, then more power to them. I'm one of a million people just like me.Steve

I wonder with some folks if their phones stay glued to their hand, that takes away from others.
Personally, I an on here and Facebook more during work hours in between doing things, breaks, and lunches. After that I really don't do a lot of posting or surfingers.------------------------------

Nola's behind this. It's SGHgate part deux.

I had heard that when you registered your egg. That was sold by the mothership to the Food police in Washington who are tracking your cooks on the forum and you will soon have to start paying a "Bovine Flatulence" tax to off set Man made global warming...No wonder he has gone underground.. :-\"Greensboro North Carolina

I agree. I'm on here and Facebook. I don't feel the need to hide from it. If some one wants to get something monetarily from me they'd be sorely dissapointed hell they'd probably leave some pity cash behind. If they mean to harm me or my family I'm pretty well armed. It wouldn't go well.
As for Blake's reasoning for leaving I doubt it's got much to do with personal security or big brother. I don't know, and I'm just guessing but I think y'all are off.
I'll miss his posts as well. Hopefully he'll return. I mean injecting with woodchuck?? We need guys like that here.Slumming it in Aiken, SC. -
Maybe Blake's work truck ended up in an ISIS video with a 50 cal mounted in the bed.______________________________________________I love lamp..

I spoke to Blake briefly today..he said he was on a roof and would talk to me in a little..

Good deal. This may be less a case of breaking up than needing a break.Beef...It's what's for dinner tonight.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I saw the light years ago and never started either. I have a couple of forums I frequent, but also provide very little identifiable information. And for those stoopid sites that require a birthday (that have nothing to do with my health or gov't interaction) they get 1-jan-1970 - the start of UNIX time.

Blake sent me a few pics, but that's it.
