Yes I have found Ning confusing, and in fact slightly sinister.
I accidentally created a duplicate account as I tried to join another archaeology network on Ning, and then discovered that it is actually very difficult to delete a Ning account once it has set up - you have to send an email requesting deletion and then they 'delete' your account... this took three days and I am still not entirely convinced since you can apparently 'reactivate' it by quoting a code (so how 'deleted' is it really?).
But yes, it is nice to "meet" other fencing archaeologists!
