What am I doing here?

I value my privacy. Or do I? Does a person who truly values privacy get on the internet and pour out their heart and soul to the world? Forget the heart and soul bit - how about just revealing your name and location, and your thoughts and email address....I just wasn't raised to do this. I was raised with unlisted phone numbers, and taught not to ask personal questions or give out ANY information, to anyone, for any reason. And yet here I am - writing for the world to see. Hmmm. I still have issues with this.
