I think you missed my point.
And I did use the word "infer", you've just given the entire list more
personal information that really isn't necessary for the discussion.
The only information anyone needs to know about you password is "yes I have
a secure password", even if you don't have one.
I didn't need to know where you live now and when you are moving, and you
don't have to have money in the bank for someone to steal your identity.
I had two points, think about if a topic is appropriate for where you are
posting it, and be careful what information you reveal.
If there are any cockroaches reading this list, I'm sure relative's of the
ones you killed 25 years ago are on the way to cottonwood now, so get your
boric acid ready :-)
I know you take steps to protect your Linux system, I'm just saying you
should do the same with your personal information. Especially on a very
large mailing list that gets archived for all to see.
