I won't touch it. That's where my Luddite boundaries begin! I know
plenty of people on it who enjoy it but I've read or heard of, too many
breaches of privacy to go anywhere near it.

unless you set it up for other than "friends only" access, I don't see
how anybody but friends sees anything much, but I wouldn't publish
anything sensitive just in case. In fact I mainly use it to discuss
things in private I do not wish to discuss on usenet. But obviously
don't use a semi nude profile picture or give away personnal info
thats not generally available. Just use a bit of sense.
