On my site, I assume that ANYTHING on my site will be viewed by someone sooner
or later.  If I don't want it viewed, I remove it.

The most I do for "security" is put index.html files in directories that I might
consider sensitive.  But then again, I don't really HAVE any sensitive info on
my sites.

Of course, I feel info should be open - I organize my site very logically, and
the pics are all open to be viewed, in case someone wants to quickly access the
directories they are contained in, rather than going through the VFAQs that link
to them.

Hmm, maybe that's the heart of the controversy right there!

I dunno about the net population at large, but I'd certainly experience
guilt feelings if I summoned up an image to which there was no readily-
obvious hyperlink, because I'd assume that the reason there was no link
was because I wasn't supposed to see it or find it.  Then again, I'm not
someone who snoops in people's medicine cabinets either (not that anyone
here is).
