Well yes, but that's a general courtesy thing that I try to adhere to. I kind of assumed that that was a given. This is more to get a feeling for who cares to read it or not. Having written personal statements for graduate school once before, and read a whole bunch of them as part of an admissions committee, they can get really boring.
Doesn't matter, filter it anyway so that no one you don't know grabs it. Also so that on the off chance that someone searches for a phrase from it to see if it was cribbed (you never know) that they don't end up stumbling on your live journal.
Untangling the meaning from the syntax of that statement left as an exercise for the student.
I'd say make it friends-only but not filtered. If it's behind a cut tag, people only have to read it if they want to, so there's no real need for a filter. Unless you know there's someone on your list who's had a horrendous experience of applying to grad school and wouldn't want to be reminded of it?
In addition to my answers to your poll, I would add that, while I don't always read things in a timely manner (earthquake? really?) I do, eventually, read them all. So I'm not necessarily the best for instant feedback, but I will eventually give you feedback if you ask for it.
