[pct-l] On Hiker Privacy . . . and Safety

I wonder if we all wished to keep our journey's private, why do so many 
folks keep journals on both your site and on trailjournals.com that are open 
for public access?

Journaling is a choice each person makes for themseleves. One story in your 
journal states that your wife was waiting for you with divorce papers at the 
airport at the conclusion of your hike. It's your choice to publicly reveal 
that info, not mine. As a courtesy to you, it's not something I would write 
about *you* in my journal as it might infringe on your privacy.

This topic is just a simple reminder to show each other a little common 
courtesy, nothing sinister or paranoid, just a little courtesy that's all.

I'll take this opportunity to remind everyone, at postholer.com you can flag 
your journal as private. It will not appear anywhere on the site. You are 
free to pass out the link to your journal at your descretion to only people 
you'd like to. This has been a *very* popular feature. I had no idea!
