Hmm where do you draw the line.. peer2peer file sharing, MS Networking, SMTP, 
telephones, snail mail, visiting foreign countries, meeting people at all.. ?

Seems a bit silly to me to be having the conversation at all, its people who 
willingly leak this information not the mechanism used thats at fault

  Or, as you mentioned, MS file sharing...

  And, remember, SMTP is -already- proven guilty of said Risk,
and a far more -probable- culprit in future compromises... !

Reality Check.
