Yeah, absolutely I sent an email to the weak connections I wanted to retain, though it didn't include all of them. To be fair, i'd been pruning for years. The CA thing wasn't such a surprise (though it's impacts certainly were) because I've been a paranoid shit for most of my recent life.

I had been using a false name on my primary FB since I started the account in ~2008... funny anecdote, I once got a popup on my real account with a question about my "fake" profile: "Is this a real person?" Yes, of course... and now I'm going to make a post on my wall asking my friends to please say "yes" if they got the same question.
