Who puts their private photos in a public album? ;)

This post is intended for those who don't really know they are publishing their photos as public by default. :)
ah, thanks :)
I'd been using the picassa desktop software which is defaulting to private :) on new albums, but the web albums uploader defaults to public :(
Rather inconsistant of them, t'would be nicer if they started private on both
I'm not sure what the default option is in the desktop Picasa but mine is default as Public. Maybe Google needs to raise more awareness in terms of album privacy.
