Some of y'all have expressed privacy concerns (a few in IM) and I was wondering how to handle that. The easiest thing would be for me to keep the list and have certain restrictions as to who can access it - but how? Let's say we get someone that has malevolent intentions (doxxing, etc); how would a person like that be vetted from obtaining access to the information? This is only a concern if we start adding actual addresses; the current method just knowing that a guy with screen name XYZ lives in a certain part of town isn't quite enough info to doxx them I think...
[ETA] I think we'll keep it informal like now. A lot of us already have met some folks and have swapped contact information. Meeting someone in person before handing over personal information is a better idea. |

View Quote Well, I mean, don't stand up and wave your hand in a "do you live in Austin?" thread would be a good privacy mechanism if you're worried about it. I'm not worried, obviously. Easy enough to find me (or most anyone else) if you're motivated. |

La Grange is growing like crazy. Looked at property there last year which eventually sold to a developer for subdivision. Half of it was flood plain too. Proximity to South and East Austin makes it popular for commuters who work in those areas.
