In addition to the reasons for each item listed above, putting all this information, together, in one convenient place, is an identity thieves’ treasure trove!  Why do all the work for the identity thief?  If they’re going to steel my identity, they’re at least going to have to work for it.  I’m not going to hand it to them on a silver platter.  I’m also not going to make it easy for the crazies on the internet to find me in the offline world.  I post a LOT of opinions online, and you’d be surprised, disgusted, and saddened at the hateful responses I get.  One day, I may post a list of them.  There’s NO WAY I’m giving those hate mongers all my personal information, and neither should YOU!
