BTW - Myspace is fun but also creepy. I, like Deanna, have found people I thought I'd never hear from again, which is great. BUT I've also been propositioned by men despite the fact that Myspace profile states that I'm married, and I don't even have any sexpot whorey pics up. My teenage nieces are on it & I get really nervous. I try to keep an eye out for them & remind them not to post too much personal info, but it's scary.

Yeah, I just watched a show where girls thought they were being careful, but still let personal info slip between the three of them (last names, where they were going, etc). A cop posed as a 19 year old kid to see how easy it would be for online predators to get info about girls. They were underage so their myspaces were supposed to be private, but that was part of exposing how easy it is to get to them even if their spaces are private.
It was very easy. They said they added him without checking him out because he was on their friend's spaces, so they thought he was okay.
