Thanks folks, your feedback and concerns were exactly what I was looking for...

My own sense is that this is a very different and unusual way of interacting with others online. It seems to be entirely based upon a "Q&A" style. How helpful do you personally find this sort of style?

LMo, I'm not surprised, as it's an easy thing to miss that everything you type in over there is public. They should do a pop-up warning or something before you submit just to be sure. I'm sure you're not the first person who thought that.

Any additional comments and feedback are appreciated. How could a service like this be better improved, in addition to what's already been suggested?

Thanks!
