*frets....am worried about our Hayley. She is using an awful lot of words lately, have you noticed? Do you think she is just practising for when she goes cruising so she can dazzle the purser with her conversational prowess? :-D :-D

I remember once on GR, many years ago, when someone put up a thread about me and my dog. She used my dog's name in the thread title and I was furious and asked her to delete! I don't mind so much about my privacy nowadays as most people know BC is not my name and I am old and live in London! :-D

lololol I do have a chuckle about people when they go on about personal information being gained from FB, the only information that can be gained from there is what you choose to put on it, many people ( and I not one of them) have as many as 3 accounts although this is frowned upon from FB and if caught they delete, but they have them for the applications for the games they play war book Farm town and the fairy gardens, cheating yes but often with out malice.
As for personal information being gained, we are practicing nosey parkers we look up BDM all the time how easy is it to trace a living rellie or a dead one? Like it or not but we all have a degree of our lives available on line weather we want it there or don't its there.

Back to the topic, as its already been said, on public forums like this the only information that can be gained is what YOU advertise and ff you don't want to be glossiped about don't wash you dirty linen in public, its like having a row in the middle of street, curtians will twitch its human nature like it or not if you dont want to cause a reaction speak in a lower voice indoors. :-D
