I have received a number of invitations to join this network recently.  
The invitations have been from people who I do not know.  I do not know 
whether these people have knowingly allowed this network access to their 
email lists or not.  However, there have been some cases where I have 
received invitations directly, and not via a reflector list.  I regard 
such invitations as constituting a serious violation of my privacy.  I 
do not allow anybody to pass on my email address to anyone else without 
my express permission.

If a person wants to join any social networking system, that is their 
decision, and I am fine with that, but I would hope that they have a bit 
of common sense and consideration and not allow access to their email 
lists.  Criminal use of email addresses, fraud and identity thefts have 
become major issues in all countries of the world, even for us living in 
Godzone downunder.

My action is to blacklist the email addresses of offenders in my 
Mailwasher (TM) email screening system.
