You really don,t get it,do you....90% of the people on here keep their location secret, their gender secret,and their email secret....for fear of I.D. fraud.....i used frightened as a metaphor, as for myself...yes i gave out my address...to this member....whom i,ve never met..and am never likely to meet....but....meet ing their friends....was like i,d known them for years....
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

Oh i get it just fine, you argue that giving out a general location of where one happens to be in the world is somehow dangerous, i disagree.

The “fear mongers” have made some of that 90% afraid of their own shadow. And others think its “cool” or that you are suppose to have a “screen-name”. For some, it gives them courage to say what they wouldn’t have said otherwise.

“HA”, just go to Google, key in a name, any name, and you will get 100+ hits with addresses, phone numbers, etc. See this News article:  http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/most-not-all-us-google-ourselves-8C11279522 

I liked that E-mail “cartoon” I once received that pictured a little boy telling Obama … “My Dad said you are fibbing to us about ObamaCare” ….. and Obama replies …. “Your Dad is not your Dad”.

Cheers

According to my dictionary, dangerous = able or likely to cause harm or injury.

bigwul,  I do not engage in nutty or banal arguments, identity theft causes great harm and finanicial injury to folks every day. The idea that giving out ones general location in the world leads to that is, to me, nutty.

I believe most identity theft is local, ... not across State lines or borders.

It’s tuff to hide from the Flying Spaghetti Monster … cause he can likely find you via ……

the "people finder" tools available to him such as, to wit:

AnyWho …..  http://www.anywho.com/whitepages

Yellow Pages, … White Pages, … Reverse phone # lookup …. Area/Zip Code lookup

And that is just for the novices.

The pros that are knowledgeable in/of computer source/program code have "tools" that permit them to easily "check-out" internet/E-mail transmissions "tracks" and/or view the data unless it is encrypted.
