Karen,
If anybody knows what state you live in you are probably findable
anyway through all the white pages searches.
I agree - and hate - that my address is so accessible online but
unless I want to pay for an unlisted number (and then sometimes in gets
out there anyway) you have to search for yourself in all the different
places and make yourself unaccessible. I haven't done it recently but
once upon a time I found the name and address of someone I *knew* had
an unlisted phone number online.
I actually think email is safer for sharing contact information.

Using a Yahoo group for collecting all our "stuff" in one place? I was
just posting a message on one of the Yahoo groups I moderate and I
looked at all the extras that are included with a group. There is a
database, an address book, a recipe file, a blank template that can be
used for other kinds of collections; files areas for photos and files
and just a wealth of other despositories.
With all the favorites places, gadgets, sewing machines we mention in
the newsgroup, it would surely be nice to have one central location for
all the information we share. Plus, there could be one central place
for pictures of hugs, round robins, BOMs etc.
One thing I thought of was putting the Directory in a database. Once
in there, it could be accessed by anyone with membership to the group.
It could be updated as needed or monthly plus folks wouldn't miss the
open form timeframe. One problem I see is that to limit access to the
database, limits access to the other areas as well.
I'm not sure if you can limit access to a feature of a group while all
the other features are open to the group members. Anyone have any
insights to this with Yahoo Groups?
Would folks be willing to use a Yahoo Group for the Directory
information? It would be a private group, with membership screened by
the moderator with help from you all. Only those whose identities can
be confirmed would be allowed into the Group.
Ok, what do you think?
