As much as I like BYC this site isn't any safer or may be less so than most. I would not put anything personal on any site. Some folks here have reverted to using first names and have made personal contacts with others who they really have no way of knowing how safe they are.
I don't think this is a good thing. Why do you need to know? You gonna send me some money? Oh sure, go ahead, just don't say I didn't warn you when you find a box of roo chicks in your mailbox. OR worse silkies............ aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
