May I take this time to freak out?<br />\n<br />\nThis site MUST remain separate from my parents, because I discuss matters that they don't approve of, to name one, religion.<br />\n<br />\nI just got a forward of a notification (of a message) from MY MOM. Why did she get a notification about twocans? I didn't set up the account using her address and I don't know why things would be sent to her. Even worse, there was a link right to the message discussing religion. If she read it I'm screwed. <br />\n<br />\nI'll go to settings and change it right away, but does anyone know how long this might have been happening?
