One of the things I am wary of, John, is the amount of info that can be gleaned off the internet on a person with ref to Identity Theft - someone taking out credit cards, etc in your name. And sites like facebook, where lots of people have the DOB, birthplace, etc and even openly reveal other data that is commonly used for security questions make it so easy to gather that together.

If someone really wants to target an individual, they will do, but if it is random, I prefer those shisters go for someone else who is an easier target rather then me :boxing:

i'm on facebook but for the reasons mentioned, i have been rather frugal with the personal information i have on there, prefering to leave the boxes blank
there's enough info to find me provided you knew me though

I'm glad I joined, I am now in contact with a school friend that I sat next to on the school bus, not seen her for decades. I have 5 friends! :thumbright:
I could do with a tutorial. What the hell is a "toggle"?

I would imagine a toggle is something like the scroll wheel on your mouse, or the thing a cub puts on his tie :lol:

I'm sure I read that I could "toggle" someone! :scratch: So I assume that I could do things to two friends at the same time on Facebook. Is that how it works? :roll:

:shock: It wasn't smut! I meant exactly what I wrote, if I'm chatting to one person I can do something else with another then? How else do I put it for goodness sake? :roll: I've not been on long and am getting to grips with it, I need to know!
