By the way, I wanted to point this out about a new feature on LJ...

[valis2]

LJ has a new feature called My Guests which will keep track of who visits your LJ. It will also track which LJs you visit. Supposedly this new feature is automatically set to "off," but when I went to my account settings, it was set to "on." So if you don't want My Guests to keep track of which journals you visit while you're logged in, I recommend either stopping at your home page or at your account settings, where a dialogue box will pop up and ask you which you want.

More about this at the official LJ News entry.

ETA: Just to clarify--as florahart mentions below, the service is not actually turned on yet. It may be that they will change the default setting to "off" when they enable the service.

The original feedback entry is here, if you want to take a look

Yeah, mine was on, too. And I didn't get a popup when I visited. Thanks for the warning!

They should totally rename this thing "FULL-ON STALKER MODE"!

Yeah, I was a little surprised by this. There's no way to monitor your own journal without having others monitor you, either. You have to do all or nothing. :(
