    I've noticed from time to time personal questions pop up on these boards like the one I saw today, what height are you ? others like what colour eyes have you ? how many brothers and sisters have you, I can't remember them all but those of you with a quicker brain than I will know the type of questions I'm talking about. Now call me old fashioned and paranoid but is it possible there's somebody compiling profiles of us all.

    Yes.

    I also know the areas and in some cases the exact estates of some people who have let it slip at one stage or another.

    OP a/s/l please?

    If thats your bag OP I suggest one of the many threads were users post their bebo addresses. No longer will you have to profile them they have done it for themselves and given the world access :eek:

    then i would have to advise against you posting on the 2threads where you list your bebo site ... oh, "they'll " know your friends then and see photos on your nights out and not just have your thoughts and opinions here on boards ... that's some powerful info to have on someone ;) info is power; info is power
