Theresa, I tend to agree with you as far as not storing sensitive data online. But when your purpose is to share photos, recipes, and non-sensitive stuff with family and friends, I agree with Scott. Business owners would have to be crazy to keep their business contact list online. I can see it now-- Nutty Products has it's sales contact list stolen by Sprawling Products, who in turn contacts Nutty Products and offers a 15% discount on all products purchased from Sprawling Products instead. All because someone put the list in their public folder on line.
