I always figured if your worried about privacy, you shouldn't be on the internet at all. I don't think people realize just how much info is available if you just look in the right place. I've always added my town and state if it was an option, if somebody waned to track me down that bad they'll find a way anyway. And anyone foolish enough to show up wanting to harm me or my family will be facing the business end of a similar device to what was mentioned above. And it could just as easily be my wife or daughter holding it.
