Hi Guys,

I've been lurking on ROFF for several years rather than being a regular
poster/contributor. I asked some questions on here about flyfishing
equipment to buy for my trip to Cuba a couple of years back. I'm in the UK
so it was OK for me to go to Cuba and spend money unlike, it would seem, a
number of you on here ;o).

Anyhow, I've joined the FB group as some of you may have already seen. WRT
security, what you put in about yourself and level of detail in your profile
is really up to you, but there are some settings which I've been looking at
which 'may' help those with concerns. I've not tried them out yet but here's
a bit of info that may help as to what people can see if they add people as

Thanks, Andy. Welcome to ROFF (and the FB annex, too, I guess).

There's a bewildering array of different security thingies you can jiggle
on FB. I pretty much started with every security setting I could find
tamped down as tight as possible, then relaxed them one by one as (I
thought) I understood the implications.....

Anyway, if my identity gets stolen and all my bank accounts (such as they
are) get emptied, I plan to blame Frank and show up on his doorstep with a
sleeping bag....
