Don't mean to be a kill-joy but doesnt this negate the whole "don't use your real names" kinda thing? especially considering the amount of personal info that is available on Facebook, and that the group is an open group so that anyone can join...
I know, that I personally try and keep as little personal info on the web as possible...
Linky to post by Ronin Re real names....

Obviously it is optional. If you prefer not to let people know your real name then don't sign up.
This was triggered by a conversation on teh shoutbox with people trying to get me on their friends list on FB - rather than say on here my real name I simplay created the group and then if people want to join they can.
Do so at your own risk.
Meh. Protecting your name is only for scaredy-pants people for whom it actually has any power - like in the days of yore where you wouldn't tell it because you were afraid of magic...
Then again, I guess with no proper social security number, and the irrational fear of having one you seem to suffer from over there, you have to fall back on your name (and "proof of address", lol, hellooo stone-age) so I guess it actually has some power.
Disclaimer: the above paragraphs were just taking the piss out of you. Well, okay, maybe not entirely, but imagine the cheeky things being said in a diplomatic way. In the end, I guess it depends on whether you think someone is "after" you. If you think someone is - don't join the facebook group. And don't tell your bank account number to the nice man from Nigeria, either. Oh, and if you're going to let people post pictures of you on fb, which you maybe wouldn't want future employers to see, for the love of god use the privacy options, and hope they don't snoop around too much.

It's like a perfect set up to 'How many THNers does it take to screw in a light bulb?'

That may be, but for luddites like me, it compartmentalises what I want to be able to do.
