it's true. No way one could foresee all of the possible ways
information gathered up on the internet can be used by those who have
too much time and/or ill-intentions.

JHMO. But, I am such a noob in this new world of 'Internet is King!'
Precisely the issue. But not even business plans. I was recently
attacked on a support forum by someone who decided to Google me and
then belittle my question (he said I didn't provide enough
information) and pointed out that someone who was supposedly as
knowledgeable as I was (he listed several tech business I have been
connected to) should know better. While not surprised that it could
be done, I was rather shocked that someone would take the time to do
it. I'm changing my approach to online forums and listservs because
of this.
