Ringo absolutely sends invitations to your entire address book without your 
knowledge or consent.  Got an "invitation" from my sister (it was actually an 
invite to "view her latest photo's online", she didn't send the invite and had 
just gotten the same email from one of her friends.  I didn't sign up for it 
yet was sent my "log-in" information after simply clicking the link to view my 
sister's photos (there were none obviously), I inputed no information at all 
yet when I went back to www.ringo.com, I was already "logged-in".
This can't be legal???  I have removed myself but don't trust any site that can 
enter your address book without your consent or that automatically makes you a 
member by sending an email "supposidly" from a known person.
Can anything be done about this?
