> tasks of moderation are excessive; I find myself periodically trawling the personal public bookmarks of private group members to see whether they have accidentally disclosed something that was intended to be private.
I realise that three tags from the dictionary of a _private_ group are visible to the public.
My first steps towards correction:
1. find the corresponding bookmark within my personal collection
2. delete the personal copy of the bookmark
- but still, the tags from the private group's dictionary are visible to the public.
My next step might be:
3. find my way to the (possibly multiple) public groups with which the bookmark is shared
4. in each situation, delete relevant tags
5. et cetera.
In this case: I'm happy to say that the three tags from the private group's dictionary are synonymous with publicly-disclosed themes of research :) so luckily, nothing truly private has been revealed.
For group tag dictionaries of other private groups, the same may not be true.
IMHO this does highlight the need for a more intuitive, less risky approach to sharing of bookmarks with groups that are (or may become) private.

I guess that we should head back to http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/private-public-unread-bookmarks-for-research-7338#6 with a focus on the either/or aspect … but I believe that this aspect (private group dictionary entries too easily revealed to the public) warrants a separate topic heading.
