From the FAQ:
We've noticed a legal disclaimer paragraph that some people have on their profiles. Should we have one too? What are they about? Do they do any good?
The "legal disclaimer" is pointless nonsense and all does is take up extra space on our servers. Please remove it if you have it on your profile. If you're worried about privacy please set your account to be hidden from non-registered users on your privacy page (this also hides it from search engines but may take a week or two to drop out of search) and remove the notice (and encourage others to do likewise).
Common sense advice would be NOT to put any information on your profile (here, or on any such site) that could identify you or that you don't want to become public! So for your own benefit, don't post phone numbers, real names or email / instant message addresses on your profile that people might see or "Google".
Some people may put non-identifying pics on their public profile but keep face pics private or for friends, for example.

There isn't even a Sydney University!
There was a security breach of the student data at the University of Sydney in 2006 but apart from that, anyone know where this originated from ? |

Take the view that if something is on the web it is in the public domain and folk will use it. Only display what you don't mind being seen by one and all! |

The disclaimer is horse shit, apparently it was started to see how quick folk took the written word as gospel and follow the "crowd" by adding it to their profile's not just on here but on many sites.
When i see it on profile's it usually indicates to me who not to meet |
