It does seem as if the point is being missed here by many. All anyone needs to know is your email address. From that it costs peanuts to access anyones private pics and type from a large number of sites that person belongs in. They could be buisness addresses as well as loads of different networking. But it very much depends on your own personal restrictions and activity. I was gobsmacked but ive chosen to never use it again. Im being totally honest here and I realise what iffect it has on me obtaining a new contact from here. But I do feel a duty of social awareness.

In all honesty, Col, I have missed it totally.
I have no frigging idea what you are talking about...

simple.If a person has a mind to be using a pay site to access your online activities re social network sites then they can visit a large number of those sites as well as see your pictures and pages.

It might be simple to you. To me it is like working out an instruction manual written in Chinese...
So, you are saying that there are subscription sites, that offer a service for people to access other people's accounts on any site, all with their email address?

I know you're probably losing patience with us, but I'm a bit lost here as well, Col.
I know that there are sites that you can pay for a service that will find anyone and give private information, but I don't see how they could access your private accounts without knowing your passwords. And there's nothing I'm on that doesn't use a password. Email, banking, dating sites...even the raw food site I belong to...all use passwords. And right now, only one person knows the magic word to unlock my world, because I trust her implicitly.

And some silly fools pay for that? Good lord...
Sommer you don't have to pay to obtain the info Col Sanders is on about....getting into someones private maim accounts is like taking candy from a kid...It all depends on your ethics...As for the OP...I gave freely my potential partener my passwords including here with out her asking for it...I've nothing to hide...

I'm still lost. What ethics?
As for handing over my password to my account here, Captain would not even ask for it, if he did, I would happily hand it over, but then that sort of smacks of a distrust he would have for me if he felt he had to have my password, I have no wish to have his, that does not mean that either of us have anything to hide, we are pretty stable that way in that there is no reason to hide anything, like the daft emails I receive from folks, he would and I would find it tediously boring to have to tell each other everything. We don;t have to prove that we trust each other, we just do.
In that we don't have burning desires to see what is going on behind the scenes, this is an open forum, he can see what I write and I can him.
It does make me laugh when I see this, 'I give my password over, because they have to prove they have nothing to hide...
I have nothing to hide, but I find what I do here as something that is mine. I wouldn't want to share it. Couples don't have to do everything together and they don't have to know everything the other person does. Trust is important! If you are an honest and upright person this shouldn't be an issue.

Hurrah, I was beginning to think it was just me. I am very close to Captain and we talk and share a loving, stable, trusting relationship. To tell him everything would be tedious for him and for me, same with him... But that does not make us not together...
I tell him what is important to him and I, our 'we' and if I don't, or am vague about it, I get a ticking off.
He could not care less, if I have an inbox full everyday from men, he knows that I am his, and that is not from anything he reads here, it is because he knows from me.
ContraryCol: How would you feel if your potential partner has access to your activities in networking sites etc online including pictures and text? It is possible.
Why would you want to hide anything?
But I have to say, your question would better relate to 'your partner', so I'm not sure what you really mean, in this context, 'potential partner'.
I know a site like you mentioned. I went looking innocently for someone on the net..a girl I used to work with and ended up signing into a site which then looks for all the email addys you have. I never found her..not yet anyway but I did find access to a few folk.
I'd really rather not have as the info given at first look was a pile of s-h-i-t-e...which I now know..but I did make an error. I haven't looked back since and most definitely won't pay for it...no way..
The net can be fairly evil for relationships. I know that to my expense to some degree already.
However I'm open enough that it would not bother me if someone saw all I do and which sites I am on. If I'm seeing someone then I'm not chatting up someone else...too confusing for one!

I agree with you on that score..If you have made an agreement to see someone then it should be exclusive. But a persons history is just that. Everyone has one and it does not allways resemble what they are now..including what you may find from there past online activities. When I seperated from over 15 years of total loyalty on both parts I found the internet and I found sollice in doing dirties for a short while. I consider myself very "normal" so if a possible partner has evidencial net history then who am I to judge? It is not a partners history that is the problem its there partners attitude towards it. We move on and simply enjoy the present and possible future. Surely?
