You crack me up. I thought of you when I posted this article. Ha ha! I related more to what the actual article stated, but here's how I fare in this list of 10 warning signs:
1 - Yes, it's my homepage
2 - Rarely
3 - Nope (I have less than 500, and all are at least acquaintances)
4 - Never
5 - Have done "A" on occassion (LOL)
6-10 - Nope (though I *do* have more than 10 groups - dang!)
Surprisingly, I only qualified for 2. The stalker one and the more than 10 groups.
