A few people on my flist have recently been talking about waiting to see if people responded to their comments or about having missed replies people left them

Thanks! I kept thinking of stuff to add - I hope I remembered it all. *g* Yes, I'm probably going to go more semi-flocked than I currently am. That website is weird and somewhat unsettling.
Mmmm. I haven't been particularly worried about that, and I like the fact that anyone is welcome in my LJ, but... well, what else like that website is out there that I don't know about? I've started flocking more, and I think I'll probably step it up a bit more when it comes to stuff that could identify me. On the up side, now I can make myself a friends banner. Oooh, shiny. *g*
Why on earth the website was doing that is beyond me. Seriously.
I'd die without the email notification! I've been using it ever since I started my lj way back in March 2003! How scary is that! I get worried about privacy, but have tried to ensure it as much as one can on lj, by the measures you outlines. I started my lj as part of my Literature class back when if you wanted an lj you needed a code, and so the teacher who gave us the codes, explained the necessary steps taken to ensure privacy. My journal's been friends lock for a while now. I don't have that many lj friends, but I do feel more secure though I do know an lj friend recently went through problems sourdounding a false idenity of one of the users on her flist.
Mmm, email notification is so useful! It's good that your teacher went through privacy with you. But why was it part of your lit class? but I do feel more secure though I do know an lj friend recently went through problems sourdounding a false idenity of one of the users on her flist. Well, exactly. It can cut down a great many of your problems, but it's not perfectly secure, and you really should keep that in mind. (What happened exactly with the false identity, if you don't mind me asking?)
It's good that your teacher went through privacy with you. But why was it part of your lit class? It was an experiment that didn't quite work. The IT HOD wanted to see if LiveJournal could be used as an educational tool, and if you go to litfest you can see the idea was to have discsussions based around the texts we were studying. It was a shame it didn't work, but it she hadn't attempted my life would have been left incomplete

Yeah I've heard some pretty scary stories. Hence the Friends-Only thing.
