Strange, but apparently true (edited)

I've not heard of them before today.
Since I've no locked posts, I am not worried about them for me (though I can see where I might want to lock some posts, or filter them) I do have a couple of private posts, which ought not be affected, since I am not using this service.
But I hear things about it which I find offensive. Not crucial (since if I want to post something you've locked I can always paste it, this just makes it, so I hear, easier), but offensive.
I don't think it can go to the locked posts of friends, by way of the FOF reading list.
If it can, then I am past offended, because that, it seems, is an invasion of privacy.
So, as I 1: have no locked posts, and 2: have no way to know if any of you have chosen to use this, I won't ask you to take yourselves off my friends list. On the other hand, if I do start locking posts, and then see them talked about all over town. I'll be annoyed.
***
I went and looked at them. The FAQ says they can't keep Friends Only posts. Since this seems to be the cause of so much of the angst, I wonder what the facts are. I see no reason, on the face of things, to doubt them. Then again, I am loathe to share my password with anyone.
