This wasn't really about you. It was an observation based on what seemed to be going on here.
I think sometimes people make decisions based on assuming good behavior on the part of other people. If we know that some folks aren't going to follow the good behavior, maybe we shouldn't suggest that new people disclose additional information.
At the time, I registered, I had no idea that I needed to be concerned about guarding my privacy so carefully. I've since learned that I probably should have been more careful.
It might be a good idea to spread the word so people could maybe learn based on the experience of others.
