I've been thinking about this and agree with Jackie. 

I have noticed that over a period of time that if someone is 
"profiling"(likely misspelled)that this list sure would be easy to tag 
some of the users. Over a period of time, someone can sure put together 
alot of information on someone, just by paying attention here. Some of 
you might not want that information in the wrong hands.

Case in point, with out mentioning names. Address, phone #, where you 
work, what you drive, sex, age, martial status, type of car, how many and 
what kind of kayaks, and when you are going to be gone and how long, 
along with where. Need I go on?

I only mention this because Jackie brought it up and being a HAM, I know 
that people get on the repeaters and do the same thing we do here, chat. 
Sometimes too much is passed on to _ALL_ to hear and every-once-in-awhile 
someone will get robbed or molested because of someone with a scanner had 
heard too much. Same thing can happen here. Not by the friendly family of 
PW'izers, but..., there are others out there.

James, old, ugly, broke, and mean!
