Harry, my experience with this caused all the photos of my contacts (that were also with Facebook) to change to whatever that person's FB photo was. So I ended up with photos of cats, dogs, cartoons, and mothers in place of the contact photos that I had placed with the contact. It also caused some duplicates, and incorrect info. I went back and turned it off after the damage was done.

I don’t want to do this, but apparently others do.
I've been bemoaning the slow erosion of privacy for many years. Years ago, on this very list, I wrote a diatribe about it and was chastised by several people for being an alarmist. Some of those people are still around. Anyone willing to recant?
