I guess the solution is to just do a hard reset everyday. Takes 2 minutes.

True, my solution assumes that one has already failed at your solution.

I openly stalk and welcome stalkers. In fact, I use Google Latitude on my phone to stalk all my friends!! You can even select to get navigation directions right to them.

o spare me. Someone needs to have access to your phone to do that.

What are some other reasons why you don't HAVE A MOBILE?

Welllllll, FWIW I don't have a cell phone either. I just don't feel the need to always stay connected to everyone. I would say cost is a factor, but admittedly that's not an excuse when you consider the monthly bill for a landline. But while I have a landline, I will not pay for cell service. I hate talking on the phone anyway, and it boggles my mind to see people with one plastered to their ears all the time. If I were to ever get one, it would be strictly for emergencies only, or when I absolutely needed to get in touch with someone for a practical reason. I just don't *** on the phone much, and prefer to keep my phone calls short and of a practical nature only. I would want a very basic phone - one without the ability to send text messages (though I wonder if they even make a basic phone like that anymore). I certainly would not want a so-called "smart phone" that has internet access. To me, a phone is a tool...not a toy. And too many people think of them as toys or fun gadgets these days.

Yea, but they have to have it enabled. It's in their control.

I'm not as popular as the rest of you, nobody wants to stalk me for real. I flash new ROMs on my Evo so often that you'd have to load tracking software on my phone twice a week to keep up with me.
