Comparing privacy and security on online dating sites

I think this link is relevant for Sara's, Sean's, and John's blog, plus for those of you using online dating sites (really?  no one?), it might be good to know.

Not saying just "test".

I have heard that a lot of these sites don't delete your profiles after you close your account in order to seem like they have more users than you do. I was reading an advice column where a woman was asking if she should tell her engaged friend that she saw her fiance on match.com and apparently its common for profiles to still appear active after they have been closed. The issue of people actually being able to hijack your accounts is really scary.
