Speaking as a Swaplist nanny, this is a bad idea.

This is not the reason for the rule.

I would also like to clarify that the Swaplist rules only ask for your
name and city/state/zip in public postings. There is no need to post
your street address to the list. Here's the mini-FAQ with relevant
rules:

http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap/browse_thread/thread/1853a96bfcd7d3f9#

These rules are for the protection of all swappers.

If anyone wants to discuss these rules further the place to do it
would be the LEMlists group, not here.
