| **Remember the web is unfortunately full of people
with questionable intentions who may use your details
destructively. The web is also full of very interesting
and friendly people of integrity. Be smart enough to
make sure you know who you're dealing with before
sharing too much personal information such as any
form of address or phone or other contact
information. There is also a function which enables
members to block another member from contacting
them - to be used in extreme and hopefully rare cases. |
