Rocketman, your avatar changed from black to green, so that at least means you’ve been TRYING to change it…. Keep trying and get the logo to show up, so I can celebrate by having my large chocolate mocha frappe.
The password protected posts are like an exclusive club, reserved for members only. If you don’t have the password, you can’t gain entry.
I’m not sure why people create exclusive, “members only” type of clubs. To keep the riff-raff out? To avoid rubbing shoulders with the unwashed masses? So that only people within the same clique/social standing will congregate there? Who knows. It does seem very exclusionary.
I don’t care about protected posts but I would like them to have their own wall because these private posts take up space on a public wall so there are public posts I won’t get to see because they are pushed back by not only public posts but useless private posts speaking for 99% of users. I don’t feel excluded its just a waste of space on the wall.
On the plus side google doesn’t seem to index post content which is password protected. Perhaps we should all password protect sensitive posts for that reason alone but have the password available to all in an effort to avoid exclusion and segregation.

I’ve wondered how that works….
What password are they looking for?
The regular SP one doesn’t work, so how exactly do we know what to use for the protected posts?
Does the OP decide what the post’s password will be, and only distributes it privately to certain friends…?
I don’t get it.
And yes, I also agree with your point.
Kind of weird to exclude people.
YES! You tell them phantom!! 🙂 i don’t like that sneaky shit!! 🙂

Hurry! I want my chocolate!
I am dying of chocolate deprivation!
(Which is one of the most horrible m@thods EVER.)
i have too agree! chocolate deprivation is one of the worse methods ever!!!! how discustapating!!!
Discustapating?
Sounds like a cross between disgusting and constipation.
Which I guess would also be a terrible m@thod.
P.S. Phantom, I am so sorry I seem to have hijacked the thread.
Feel free to spank me. 😉
Cordless Hey that’s a good method death by spanking!!! you that be considered ASSisted suicide? 🙂
LOL!
The opening sets the pw and shares it with who they please.
Aww.
Well that IS kind of sad then.
Its bullshit. Makes certain people feel like they are unwelcomed
Or at least excluded from the entire picture.
I’m wondering if it’s something the admins meant to purposely include, or if it’s just something that automatically comes with Wordpress.
If it automatically comes with Wordpress, there might not be a way for them to disable it, even if they wanted to.

(*sniffs armpits*)
All these years, and I never realized I was one of the unwashed masses.
Though in retrospect I guess it makes sense.

You can delete my audio mail if you want to.

I’m so with you on that man. If you want only certain people to read your post just email them.
