Well. Isn't anyone's business what I am doing. I want to decide on my own what I want to share. Unfortunately some corporations exploit that little willingness, where others are respectful.

Even if I don't have to hide anything, it's still no reason given to tell the world. I mean - I don't live in a glashouse, even when I got nothing to hide.
