OK, I understand that (now) but it wasn't obvious from your message,
which appeared to be an invitation directly from you to view a
Facebook page requiring registration:

Fair enough, and they even provide an opt-out link in the message:

 > Are your friends bothering you? You can opt out
 > <http://www.facebook.com/o.php?u=1356460525&k=a9bd5c>
 > of emails from friends on Facebook.

...except that in order to gain the ability to opt out of email
from Facebook you apparently first have to *register* with Facebook,
or at least that page leads to nothing but registration forms when
I view it.  So, I'm apparently not even permitted to pluck out mine
eye without providing them with my personal information.  >-/
