Because not everyone wants everyone to add them ;pWhy?
It's not a bad thing to be selective about who gets your personal contact info. Especially if you sign up for various things using the same email, or use similar usernames across the 'net. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone to different websites, or even to real life using something as basic as an email address, username, time zone data, location data, even a photo. That's not to say no one should ever put any of this information up ever, but it's good to be careful about who you give that kind of information to, where you do it, how specific you get, and how often you do so.Why?
Here's the big diff, my son:Well personally I already have over 50 of you people (62 being exact) on Skype and I never had an issue.
Unless if it's one of you cretins that keeps calling my cell from some american number which cases me to never answer it for nothing more than long distance charges.
But I also go by the logic of the main danger of giving out info online information is them finding you IRL.
Meanwhile I'm already meeting thousands of people IRL and nothing ever happen.
The biggest danger I have from people online is them reaching the same level of danger as IRL peeps, and an IRL peep's level of danger is minimal.
I reffered more to writing your skypename on a public forums. Bots programmed to recognize this will add you and your gonna get targeted by ruskie botnets among other things. It happens all the time.Well personally I already have over 50 of you people (62 being exact) on Skype and I never had an issue.
