Should you be doing private business stuff with suppliers/contacts, I'd be very concerned. Why would you share a private business plan, only to find another competitor get it and put you out of business? Just dumb if you ask me. 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.
