When I received your Google+ invite I thought that Google was taking liberties 
with your actual intentions and spamming your contacts perhaps.

I do have and use a gmail account for this list, but I do not (knowingly) 
partake in social websites like Google+, Buzz,  Facebook & Twitter.  I also 
use Gtalk for IM, but as far as I know by using Gmail and Gtalk I am not 
automatically subscribed to Google+ and the like.

PS.  What does "people to watch" do?  It sounds rather voyeuristic ...  O_o
