RE: Networking Groups - downside?

["McLauchlan, Kevin" <Kevin -dot- McLauchlan -at- safenet-inc -dot- com>]

To be sure.  But the connection I would make is that if you are a member
of one or more biz-related networks and also of a more
sociially-oriented network, data-miners will have no trouble putting the
two together.

I somebody ever cracks that internet lonely-hearts site that you joined
after your second divorce, all the gory details that you thought were
private might come out by being tied to your biz-network profile. 

Your next run for public office or patronage appointment will run into
some rough sledding.    :-)
