    Hmmm - not sure if I'd give so many people I don't actually know access to my real identify and personal details. Is asking for trouble!

  • on facebook only your friends and people you invite to be your friends (virtual or otherwise) can see your profile. the only things others will see are comments left on group pages or on peoples walls that you are both friends of. the other thing others will see is your profile photo

    No, that's what I thought, but suggested just in case anyone could be bothered:).

    I like keeping my MSE life and real life separate. People see me on here as Superman and I don't want to disillusion them by revealing the reality of Clark Kent :rotfl:

    A few people know my real ID - it only takes one careless post...

    My best friends (very psycho) ex managed to trace her through Facebook (and she had changed her name) all thanks to one careless post from another friend... not pleasant, I can tell you!
