Other than being able to prove that I exist, there's not much personal information out there to be had on me via these sites, and certainly not much that could be used maliciously. On the other hand, I have a bit togainfrom being easier to find both security-wise and for some of the other activities I engage in... to name one, philanthropy. I want people tobeable to find me to donate money so I can build a school in Africa. How is that a bad thing again? P.S. And this is coming from me who is not known to be asocial-butterfly.In fact, I'm quite sure a cave somewhere is missing its hermit.
