Here's something that I think may be of general interest.

Our information security officer sent the following to my manager:  "The 
content Frank is positing does not appear to be specific to our environment.  
However, I am concern by the fact he posts his position, where he works, and 
phone number.  This creates some social engineering risk, as well as discloses 
information about the operating systems we use.  Who can I talk with to ask 
Frank to remove information related to where he works on this conversation 
thread and future ones?"

Are these concerns justified or just paranoia?

I like posting this information because I've received useful contacts and 
information based on it.  I'm curious what policies other businesses have.
