Hi All,

I really agree with you all? Good to share information, but to what extent?
anyone can misuse it? Can we take any steps to stop it?

I don't know how many of you agree with me. Any chances for understanding
the motives of person (with malicious intent)?

I know you people are doing good things to the community, but we are here to
protect.

Thank you,

Regards,
Ratna Kumar
