Hear Hear, I'm all for anonymity by default, and allowing the user to opt-in for confirmation of identity. Possibly it might be nice to have a service where you can get your gpg key connected with your person. Then you have the ability to s

Is it facebook that is the problem or the use of facebook? I log into facebook about once a week (slightly more recently but hey I'm inbetween jobs). I check my messages respond, see if there is anything of intrest. Beyond that the only tim

The --forest or as later mentioned the -f does not exist in the freeBSD version of ps (I'm assuming all bsd's). If my understanding is correct OSX uses the freebsd utilities so that would be your reason.
