Don't really after i saw a documentary about google and how they know and store every search and page we visit on google in their servers :thumbdown: I guess bad people and bad things can find us with or wihtout QB.
I have lots of fun browsing this site, and it is my hang out place (OMG i need to get a life...lol), so don't really care.

I had one guy once come to my door, my German Shepherd dog was out back, but was coming in just as I opened the door, this guy stuck his foot inthe door jam, my dog comes up beside me, I grab his collar. this guy looks at my dog (who is huge!) and says "I am sorry I think I have the wrong place" I said I think you do, and called the cops right after I shut the door.

Actually I worry more about everyone thinking I'm an idiot, not if someone is stalking me. Besides if you show up at my house I'm going to put you to work, need my house cleaned, need some painting done, maybe a few repairs.
And on a serious note, I never post any pictures from my cell phone.
