Writing Recs for PNMs

Mind if I ask why? If a PNM has something completely clean on myspace, what reason is there to tell her to clean it up? I don't understand.

For example, if I had pictures from church events, nothing with drinks, cigs, revealing clothing, etc... and you told me to clean up my already clean myspace page, I'd be super confused.

If a page is clean, then she's a step ahead of the game. "I already did that." would be the reply.

For the 3 recs I've been asked to write this year, they've all had at least one questionable pic up. None of them knew I was checking their pages.

kdonline, correct me if I'm wrong, but I also get the impression that you don't tell the PNM that you've checked out her MySpace, etc? Therefore it's just like a general piece of advice, correct?

Right.

Though I don't know why so many younger people don't think that older people check out myspace too. Hasn't it been on the news enough?!
