This was in response to an opinion seeker wondering about posting info about
his SO on the net!  My, you certainly are quick to jump on a soapbox.

[many horror stories of people misusing or being harmed by the truth being
spoken about them, mostly by the U.S. Gov't. or small town bigots!]

Actually, I don't.  Check the original posting and you'll see.  This IS an 
International Network you know!

I still maintain that if I never do anything I am ashamed of I can't be hurt
by the truth.  I will allow certain disclaimers to this.  I am not totally 
naive.  There are certain limits to how much truth about me and to whom it is
told I would like to see distributed (sorry about the English!).  The statement
was made in reference to information being exchanged in casual conversation
or discussions.  Not in formal business meetings or tale telling to my mother.
Just in the case of reasonable people having a conversation.
