I agree

Boy, I am always amazed at the amount of information given to a SocNet by the average user.

Here's a tip, if the field isn't required then leave it blank. If some site says your phone number for instance must be entered (usually they have a totally bogus reason for this and simply want to sell their member lists to a telemarketing firm) then put in a false one.

NEVER give out your address to anyone at all on a SocNet site. Those whom you actually want to visit you personally already have your address and if you want to meet someone new, go to a neutral site to do it and then, if you like the individual, you can invite them home afterwards.

Be very careful about info put onto a socnet site and you should always assume that any such info is not going to be well protected.
