By the gist of what you just wrote - you didn't understand what was said.

Walter said that EVERYBODY should post their personal information. I have
no argument with what Walter chooses to do personally. It's what Walter said
everybody else should do - that is, post all of their personal information -
name, address, telephone number & when they'll be home from work. Heck, the
addict needs to know when to drop by, right?

I have 35+ years in retail. Started when I was 16. What is good for me,
may not be good for everyone else. I recognize that.
