I want to thank everyone for honest and helpful information, Larry really summed it up though, if people look hard enough then my LinkedIN profile would provide a huge chunk (hind sight would be less info but I thought it was best to be detail oriented for that site at the time), or if someone were to use some sneakernet in my home town they could find some interesting information on me.

Thinking about it now I will put a virtual duplicate of LinkedIN / resume minus address, as much as Larry wants to visit I must have stronger will and hide the address :-)

I do like the idea of some of my stuff being labeled as as left off for security reasons but available if requested, thanks David.

I want to again thank everyone for the insightful suggestions, now who wants to write it for me :-) J/K

- Robert

This is the position I'm coming from as well. I've had my resume posted on my personal web space for well over 10 years now, so all my information is already available via Google. In hindsight, I would have stripped a lot of my contact information off in favor of some "available on requests," but I figure my horse is already out of the barn.

Some advantages of having a resume posted "out there:" It is interesting to watch what search terms people find my resume with. It's also quite handy to watch how many hits I get from various organizations over time when I'm applying for jobs. I remember seeing a flurry of hits one morning from a particular company and thinking "I bet I get a phone call from those guys." The phone rang that same afternoon.
