if someone gives this info and commits some "misdeed" anyway, there's a good chance that they don't care about you having this info because it's not really theirs anyway. As a result, one should be careful about what they do with info from these persons, since there's a really good chance you will be harming some innocent third party by disseminating it on the web.

Well said SB, a VERY sobering thought... there have been quite a few "client alerts" posted on provider only message boards, one of which I run, however, it has been general policy NEVER to publically post "real" names and info other than a handle ... for this reason that SB illustrates above... that and it always amounts to one persons word against the others. Just remember that these boards can be "abused" and to take everything with a grain of salt.
