I abandoned Facebook instead of deleting my account.

I treat Facebook like a big phone book now and left a public status on my profile with an email address that forwards mail to my real email address for people that want to get in touch with me.

The main reason I did not delete my account is that there is one other person with exactly my name and very questionable values, judging the public content of his profile. This really sucks. My name is not common and unfortunately he married a distant cousin of mine and now has my name.

Now I don’t like the idea of people looking for me accidentally getting in touch with him thinking they are contacting me. Unlikely with his current profile picture in place, but still a possibility in the future.
