It seems like way too broad a question to answer with just a simple yes or no as there are likely cases where both are the right answer but I guess in a general sense it is probably best not to post that kind of information in most situations.

I guess it depends on the level of info, but personally, I view this forum as anonymous entertainment that should be left that way unless I decide to say so otherwise. If someone wants to release personal information and intersperse it with forum life, that's fine, but I would definitely not approve of someone doing that about me without my consent.

If someone wants to divulge information about themselves, go for it. But I don't think that posters should share information about other posters on a public forum without their consent. If it happened outside of CP, keep it outside of CP.
My personal life is fairly boring, I'm sure, and I don't see why anyone on here would benefit from knowing more detail about it. I think that only one other CP member knows who I am personally, and I have only ever met a couple of others briefly while buying something or giving something away. I would expect that none of them would come on here and post something personal about me if it happened in the "real world".

Depends.
This is an extreme example but say I have a son in grade 8 and him and his classmate Johnny did a kick ass job on their science project, so I took a photo of them beside it for my photo album.
Then I decide, you know what, I'm really proud of my son's accomplishment, I'm gonna post that photo on CP to share with all my internet friends because it's pretty cool and my son made a bad ass science project.
Little do I know that Johnny's name used to be Jeffy and uncle Sliver just got out of jail on drug charges because Johnny's mother ratted him out, and he's looking for them to settle a score. It's not hard to find out where I live and where my kid goes to school, I use my real name on here and meet up with people in my area of the city for transactions.
So yeah, sometimes it can be inappropriate, you can be dealing with big issues that might not be apparent on the surface and something as innocent as posting a picture can turn into something a lot bigger and more sinister. This is an open public forum, I would be careful about divulging information about anyone but yourself.

The poster known as 'Kybosh' is actually a conglomerate of convicts at the Bowden penitentiary using their computer learning time inappropriately.

Any word from any of the people that freely post their kids' names? I'm sure you paused to ask yourself if it was a good idea before you did it...what was your rationale behind doing it? I'm just curious and not judging your decision one way or another. As I said, I can't think of a good reason not to, but as I can't think of a good reason to do it, I won't.

I think that if you posted your real name, a LOT of dog owners would "casually" stroll by your house every day of the week- after looking up where you lived.

hah probably. "This guy thinks dogs suck?! I'll show him by having my dog come by and bark and crap on his lawn!!!"
But seriously, there are probably one or two that would.

I'm more concerned that I've posted pics of my dogs.
... As to my kids, (who are all adults) I would only post stuff that is already "out there".

I'd bring my attack Yorkie and she'd lick your hand to the bone. You and your daughter would be very upset
To your thread topic- I don't think it's a good idea to explicitly post any personal information online, but I am considering it on CP in the near future (stay tuned for those who are curious).

I think that's the key. You should only post information you have consent to post.
Table 5, you, I and others have posted our business information on CP. That gives everyone access to our names, emails, etc. That doesn't give them to right to post photos they search for of us on CP. But it's also risk you take by posting that information on the web (not just CP).
I've met Sliver, and others, through the buy and sell forum. I have their names, number and could easily use that info to get more information about them. Same for me. You just have to be cautious and aware of what people could do with your information.

No. I think the most appalling thing in the whole Virgin Auction thread was when people started trying to find out what the j stands for.
