Shellie, perhaps you are right when it comes to using posts in research, but in terms of posting personal info on the internet, like on this board, people really do need to use good judgment.
Like someone said earlier, it can feel like we are in a private room with a fireplace, but this is not how it is. As we can tell from the stats written up in the article, many more people visit to read than actually post, so this is a very public "park wall" (as Nikki put it--good analogy!).
Unfortunately, at least one person here that I care about was hurt terribly by having made a mistake like this, and I hope people do take care to protect their personal identifying info.
