F'locking dilemma

[elaby]

I've been having one of those friends-locking dilemmas that I'm told people go through. Sometimes I feel like I should lock EVERYTHING, lest someone I don't know on LJ see it and take offense or something - though I don't really think anything I say would offend anyone - and sometimes I feel like I shouldn't lock as much as I do, in case someone I don't know is interested and wants to read my journal.

So, I have a question - if you friends-lock something, does that mean only people YOU have friended can read the post, or anyone who has friended YOU can read it?

On that note, today's dilemma was one of the former variety, and I've gone back and locked various school-related posts that do not fall under the "extremely vague and most likely upbeat" category. I plan to f'lock anything that pertains to school in detail (or is just me bitching about whatever), so if you're inclined to read that, this is a reminder to log in. If you're not inclined, and I don't blame you - move along, nothing to see :)

I'm going to do work now. Really.

Only people that you have friended (i.e. given permission to) can see a f'locked post. Also, for people like me and Simon who occasionally post off each other's log-in (you can select "other" next to "logged in user"), it doesn't give you permission to post if you're not listed as a friend.
