I don't want to be coerced into the 'social network' and have to have yet another set of usernames and passwords to remember for something I will never ever want or use. Apart from you guys here and a couple of other forums etc I like to communicate with my friends in the old fashioned way... by talking to them down the pub or wherever.

There's a very good reason I don't have certain information (like my name and isp email for example) publicised online, not because I do illegal things, but because I like to keep a certain anonymity online - to avoid intrusive attempts to advertise stuff based on web history/interests.
Having the choice as to who I give my information to is something I consider to be quite important.

Oh, and because I can't log into my youtube account, I cannot delete it now either.

This.

lmao @ Dowly

Thing is, I've got quite a lot of saved links on youtube for stuff that I am interested in and have collated over a reasonable length of time; bookmarks, user subscriptions, playlists, rare recordings as a list of records to track down and purchase, not to mention the wide variety of all things guitar related that I have learned from watching other musicians post... you know, all of that good stuff youtube got right just fine before.
