received immediate notification.
The annoying thing is that they still have my basic data and should I
foolishly log on, I'll be swamped with messages again.

You can turn those notifications off. One of the first things I did was
turned almost everything off and set only the notifications I wanted to
e-mail. I also tightened security as much as possible. Most things are
shared by default, so I turned all that junk off.

I didn't know of those procedures at the time and the whole concept of
FB made no sense anyway.
