Thank you Julian for putting my thoughts in writing and Dee Dee for sending this! ;-)

My approach to social networking is one of preserving as much privacy as possible for members, 

without the disadvantages of anonymity;

ie, 

- no addresses, 
- no last names, 
- just real people who are invited to join by other real people.


I like our Listserv discussion list for much the same reasons: 

it's managed by a trusted entity with relative independence from

corporate or government interests.
