Thanks Anna. To back up your point some more I’ve just noticed that my wall post on the latest example I found has been deleted by the admin. It’s one thing to be stupid enough to share your phone number with the public, it’s quite another to censor a comment telling people that’s what they’re doing.

Great post. I have been amazed myself whenever I saw a cell number posted on someone’s wall or on a group wall. I don’t think facebook is at fault here though. Robert A. Heinlein once said “Never underestimate the power of human stupidity”, and I think that quote describes this situation perfectly (as sad as it sounds).
