I know your name, address, postcode, telephone number and even how many 'O' levels you got, need anything else?

Yes, so you found my CV too.

This isn't particularly impressive; what I was talking about was what would have to be disclosed BY LEGAL BEAGLES if it was demanded by a court. And all Legal Beagles have is the information in my profile. Which does not include what you have posted above.

When i first read this, i was appalled. My initial thought was some grave invasion of privacy had taken place.

After a moment to let it it sink in, and about 3 clicks later, i too had found this information.

i guess where theres a will theres a way to find out anything/everything

The point is SL, that your website is contained in your profile, which is held by LB, therefore by disclosing that, all your information is available.

I understand the point you are making, but you picked a poor example.

The issue is not what we would pass over, but what could be gleaned from that - and as has been shown, it's really not difficult at all to glean a great deal within just a few moments.

If somebody were intent on pursuing you for libel, they could and would do this.
