There are probably be 50 different views on this, so I thought it might be interesting to see what others think.
Some people on here are highly secretive, with some not even revealing where they are from, never mind anything else. On the other hand, I have probably revealed far too much, to the point that you could find my full name (I have even told at least one person my middle name via PM), my date of birth, what I look like, things I like to do and approximate area of residence at both ends of my life using this forum alone. And this is in spite of having no personal details anywhere in my avatar, signature or profile name (apart from a vague location)!
I have probably gone too far. But is it an entirely bad thing? What are your thoughts on this, and how much would you be willing to disclose about yourself (you don't actually need to; I'm just wondering what your limit would be if it was enforced upon you)?
