Since my profile is public I was assuming that folks could see all the answers. However, now I too wonder if the responses from folks with more private profiles are invisible to the general public. I was wondering (hoping a bit perhaps, who knows) that the privacy issue would come up again here. Facebook isn't the library when it comes to protecting individuals, that's for sure.

I did ask and used the answers anonymously. But I am just fine - even flattered - that you used my photo and answer here. Typical YMMV situation I think. Bit like asking for permission before we use a photo on Flickr - in Australia there is no law that you must do this, but our library does it anyhow - mainly to cover ourselves in case people object. I think my main reason for asking was the closed nature of facebook - that profile pages aren't public unless the viewer has some kind of link to the person. Try logging out of FB and looking at my profile. Not saying I'm right - but different approaches are interesting.
