Random Security comment:

I think it would be much safer to have  people mark pages that they
want to be public rather then having to remember to mark pages as
private.   If they get it wrong (forget to mark it public), it just
requires them to go back and fix it.   The other way around means your
private data gets out when you forget to mark it private.  I
understand that when 99% of the info is public this makes posting
public information more difficult, but I still think it would be
preferable.

Just my 2cents,
Bill Bogstad
