Anthro was canceled, so I'm heading home to Jenn after updating my journal, checking my FList.
Listen, guys? If you signed up for the Frienditto thingy, and gave them your password, you're an idiot. Go change it now, and if any of your other things share that password, or a similar one, change those too. And then go smack yourself for being stupid. NEVER GIVE UP YOUR PASSWORD. Except for a very good reason, for example, to allow your relatives to have access to your email account after you die.
That said, here's another, tangentially related warning. Nothing is that secure. LiveJournal isn't a fortress of security (redundant, yeah). Even if nobody gives up their passwords, there's always a chance that things can go wahooni-shaped and somebody can see your locked posts without your permission. Not a huge chance, I think, but have a little care. If it's that important that nobody knows where you buried the body, don't post about it. At all. Keep it to yourself and take it to the grave.

Date: 2005-03-04 12:01 pm (UTC)A friend of mine walked out on her abusive husband, and she didn't change her LJ password. By the time she realized this, she realized he'd been reading the friends-only stuff based on things he was saying to people who he thought still liked him.
Therefore, we faked a nice little LJ Drama of our own deliberately to destroy his head, then the password got changed and he was unfriended from all of us in a nice synchronized expulsion.
