The problem, if there is one, is not the data breach. The problem is this voyeuristic curiosity. It never even occurred to me to look at this data. How low would my self respect have to sink before I found it a good use of my time to go strolling in a sewer?

Not to mention the likelihood that similar "voyeuristic curiosity", as opposed to an active desire to start an affair, was behind many of the signups' decision to register for the site in the first place. Their decision to stroll in the sewer didn't help them out too much, and similarly I can't imagine someone sharing the information that they've been through the list of names winning them too many friends, regardless of what they choose to find or not disclose.
