I notice that people who have been adding me as a friend are posting in what looks like Russian language. Hello! Why are you interested in my posts? Who are you? Do you know each other? What is it that you are interested in? What do you believe in? Since I cannot read your posts, I know nothing about you.

So if I don't friend them, they can't access my private posts? Or is there some way that they can beat LJ security?

Correct. There's always the chance that somebody will hack LJ security for access to private posts, but I'd imagine LJ has a pretty good security person or team watching out for that kind of stuff. They also rely on us to report things that seem odd, such as somebody who only posts and comments in a Cyrillic language friending somebody who obviously only speaks English.

Cool. I *always* look at the journals of those who friend me and if their posts are not in a language I can understand, I don't add them. What's the point? I also don't add people whose subject matter isn't of interest.

Ah, and thanks to you I've become aware that this word is not part of my vocabulary, but it should be:

Cyrillic alphabet = an alphabet derived from the Greek alphabet and used for writing Slavic languages (Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Ukrainian, and some other Slavic languages)

Ah. So it's actually "Cyrillic alphabet" which is used to write "Slavic languages"... very good. We both learned something today. :-D

Ah, see? Now you're getting responses from real people. These people are not bots! They're responding to your posts with reasonable responses. Bots don't do that.
