Yes thanks jurislady. Another friend also mentioned getting an account for sn only. I actually went to FB to try to open an acct and first thing I wasn't sure if I have to use my real name. I dont want to so I tried to be clever and put in Alz as first name and then "hammer" as last. I gave an email I had made just for seekers notes notifications and haven't given to anyone else. I got back an email that my account was open and, terrifyingly, it had suggestions for me of people I might know and many of them I did know. I don't know how it did that as I have never had a presence on Facebook. Then almost immediately after seeing all of those people you might know bits, they sent me a note saying I needed to send a picture for them to verify my  account, that they were making it inactive for now and it would remain inactive until they could verify. I sent them a picture of me although i didn't like doing so. How do they know if that picture is one of me or of someone else, anyway? Then two days later they sent an email saying my account was closed! I don't think they gave an explanation as to why but I think it gave me info to contact them if I thought an error was involved. And I just thought yes, there has been an error! And that was of me giving you (FB)a completely virgin email and also sending you a photo of myself. Who knows what they do with their face recognition technology. I bet the reason they closed my account (before it was really open I might add)was because somehow they knew the picture i sent wasn't a picture of an Alz Hammer. I feel they probably knew that because some of my family members are on FB and have probably tagged me in their photos. Facebook probably then keeps all that info (even though I never gave permission) and does some huge behind the scenes match game. It was very scary to see how much they "knew" (and were right) about me when I had been on all of 3 minutes.

How can you do it without using your real name? Or can you?
