The problem is that "not posting private info such as names and addresses
and/or phone numbers" is no big help.

With all the reverse search and other engines out there the bad guys who
want to the identity theft gig can find you.

That is why I am so reluctant to post my plans ahead of time and have
decided that I don't want a journal or to have friends post update, if I
ever take a long hike.  Sometimes, I think that I may have been too public
about even discussion that I might consider taking one.
