Considering that:

1.) I attended approximately 16 different schools during my youth, 3 of which were high schools;

2.) I have forgotten nearly everyone's names, as I never knew most of them for longer than 2 years at a time;

and 3.) Such websites lure you into checking them out, exclaiming something to the effect of "Chanak, 5 of your high school alumni are waiting to hear from you!!!"...never mentioning up front that in order to connect with these people - none of which I happen to remember - you have to pay a premium...

...I discovered that it is a waste of time and money. Not only that, but if you make the mistake of registering on such a website (which you can *always* do for "free"), you can never successfully unsuscribe from their spam list.

Besides...if any of those people saw me now, I would ruin a carefully crafted and maintained reputation I enjoyed back then. They would be amazed that I cut my hair, and appear....normal.
