: Friend request from Steve :)

[Bill Helland]

Tim, The '' Steve "you referenced is a friend of mine and a BB wannabee. He signed up with "Grouply" 2 days ago and when his inbox rapidly filled up with stuff from them, he opted out and changed all his p/w's, etc.He wasn't very happy with them.

You can cross index those who are in a 'Wanderlodge group' to those who are in a 'guns and ammo group' to those who live in California and prove common interest. Or cross a 'Wanderlodge group member' to those in a 'Living with STD's group' when picking a parking spot at Quartzsite. yahoo groups you can hide your interest and idenity by just not filling in your profile. On grouply hiding is not an option. to view others and participate you need to disclose interest and profile prompts. you must be visible to see the likes of others. You can get an invite from someone to join the group simply because they had you on their list of contacts, emails, or you were a member of a group that the grooply invite program solicited for the new member Steve. The pretext was 'for Steve' but more in the favor and interest of expanding participation to the grouply site. 'Steve' most likely never singled out each invite, it was batch prompted by the grouply invite program. Grouply is cool. Disclosure keeps out the folks who have stuff to hide. you can turn off future invites by 'signing up' or just marking the "dont invite me box". GregoryO'Connor ofTim&Greg 94ptCa
