I suspect this allows you more privacy from you family and colleagues than it does from Facebook, though. I won't touch facebook. "how much privacy appears to be available to users" - I get the impression that privacy is denied to non-users! How ironic - in order to tell facebook not to track you it's not enough just to have nothing to do with it - you have to create an account and give it loads of info you don't want it to have, in order to tell it not to use that info! One reason I trust Google much more than facebook - at least on Google everything *defaults* to *closed*, rather than defaulting wide open! Cheers, Wol
