1. The "friends" thing! There seem to be quite a few people who feel the same way. It feels very "high school", like a popularity contest. Now I'm feeling the pressure when I get on bhuz to acquire a special group of "friends"! It just adds to the clique-iness (is there such a word?) that bhuz has been criticized for in the past. When I get on bhuz, it's to discuss with everyone, not just a special group.

2. Clicking around and experimenting I discovered my icon was being left on people's profiles! OMG! Does that mean that when I have a geriatric moment and click on someone's profile several times in a session because I who they were, as I'm often prone to do, they're going to think I'm either insatiably nosey or have some sort of creepy fixation on them? And what about the lurkers that don't want to be noticed? Are we going to be checking "outing" them?

I've made my profile totally private because of these two reasons and that's so silly because what's it for but for people to look at? I really don't care who looks at my profile if I make it public!
