Geek request

What is the point of FOAF sites? It's been pointed out to me that this link indexes my journal, and all others on my friends list in fact, although I'm not totally sure if it bypasses friends' pages or not, but it seems possible. Is there any way to stop this happening?

It has a page on me too. Grr.

Same for everyone. Such is life :O(

It didn't until you asked for it...

so if I asked for a page on another user it would create one for them too?
That sucks. I guess it doesn't really matter cos that info is readily available from the lj info page.

Yup, that's all it's doing - taking a machine-readable version of the userinfo page and presenting it in a different format.
