Identity theft

[avevale_intelligencer]

Since I became a regular user of the internet, in order to do what I have done on it, I have supplied my name, address, telephone number, date of birth, card numbers and so on and so forth to approximately fifty squillion people, all of whom swore up and down they were never going to breathe a word of it to anyone else and all of whom could quite easily have been lying through their teeth. If I had not done this, I could not have done what I have done with the internet.

So, as far as I'm concerned, my identity is pretty much lost and gone forever anyway, and there is absolutely no point trying to scare me with stories about the evul commies.

So please, dear internet, lay the frod off. It's done already.

"it isn't one particle more dangerous now than it was a month ago"

Exactly, and yes you are right that I wouldn't put sensitive information on LJ no matter who was running it. It's amazing what some people will reveal, though, when they think it is "only my friends" (how many people actually know everyone on their LJ 'friends' list?) forgetting about the people who run the thing having full access.
