I’m going in to delete all my emails today AND YOU PROBABLY SHOULD TOO!

Why?

Well, twice in the past two days I have lived other lives. That is two times too many.

What do I mean?

Well, something happened here that has never, ever happened to me before in all the years I’ve surfed the web (and that’s a lot of years people because I started surfing with Mosaic).

I logged into the site and yesterday I was a 40 something year old woman from Texas.

Today I was a 30 year old guy living in Manhattan.

I didn’t do anything special. I just logged in the way I normally do... as a matter of fact, I got a notice there was an email waiting for me today and when I followed the link I wound up logging in through someone else’s account!

Stuff like this?

It shouldn’t happen... ever.

I would send a message off to the mods but aside from them digging about in people’s emails and blocking people from communicating with me, I’ve found them to be almost entirely unhelpful.

I got a bit of a vicarious thrill, actually I got a chance to see how someone else approaches the whole online dating thing but none of this stuff is private - and people should know that. You should be aware that if you send your phone number or direct email address to someone via FC email, there is the very strong likelihood that someone you hadn’t intended to get your private information will gain access to it. Unless you delete the email you sent containing that information and the person receiving your email does the same.

A word of caution TO EVERYONE! YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS AND ACT ACCORDINGLY!

If it had been a one-off thing, I wouldn’t be as concerned but it has happened now twice in two days so, I know for myself as a precaution I’m deleting all those emails from people who have written me containing their personal info and if you have any respect or concern for the people you’ve come in contact with through the site you probably should too.
