Is there any downside to connecting with someone who has connected with you?

well They can see your profile & all your contacts & updates. I do not like that every time they add a new contact I am notified on my mail page before I open to view actual mail. To me who they add is their business not mine as I do not know any of these people they add & it keeps me from viewing updates from & about people I really do want to know what they have going on in their updates without having to search through peoples info I don't care to know about*

In a human relationship whether in cyber space or real to the touch there may be potential problems. You need to decide if you want the connection and if you have the time to give. I connected for the advice and not the criticism of having 13 cats plus 2 dogs that you gave me. I believe that knowledge is valuable and books don't always give the answer but people like you who have had a life experience could help people like me when we are looking for a solution to better God's furry babies lives. Thank you again for your advice. I guess you could always start with an open mind and if things get to out of hand place a block and break that connection. Walk away and don't look back!
