I resisted for 6-8 years. I'd rather look at some subset of a gazillion uploaded
images per month instead of having them mushroom my saved email, or spend the time
separating them from email, and labeling each something meaningful, and making me
add more and/or larger storage space for them to fill. FB messenger is actually
handy for those less or non-adept at safer communication channels.
