On livejournal, why do they say "comment to be added" if they go "Friends Only"?

Question

I just don't get it... am I stupid? I'd like to make myself a friends only banner, but I want to know what "comment to be added" means before I put it on my journal, ya know? Please help

Answer 1

Friends only is when people choose to lock their entries so that people they don't know can't read or see their private information. Commenting means you are interested in being their friend and letting them see both your locked entries and you their locked entries.

The only thing you shouldn't be able to see is something put as private in their journal if you are their friend.
