I don't know, maybe I'm too cynical, but I don't think posting personal information online is a good idea.
I couldn't agree more. This has something like 4chan spam written all over it. They have done much worse, from much less. It's messed up, but it's a sad truth.
They have done nice things as well, like http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/09/05/2148248/4chan-Gives-...

Some recruiter a 5 or 7 years ago or so went so far as to scan my paper resume, (with my address), did OCR, and posted it on the net.
My wife’s in a profession that needs registration with the state - they post the office address in the net - so no home offices.
Got a land line, and in the white pages - like everyone in my parent’s generation? Your address is on whitepages.com (and plenty of other places.)
The number of ways this info leaks to the net is astounding.
Interesting idea. I am pretty sure I might put up something up there someday.
This sounds like a nice way of saying you'll completely forget about this website in several hours and will never put anything on it ever.
Or at least I'm pretty sure that's what it might mean :)

I don't see why you had to name 4chan into this. They have done nice things as well, like http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/09/05/2148248/4chan-Gives-...

Needless to say, I came up short. I think I'm not the only one who'll want to know some of these details before bookmarking the site and returning on a weekly basis.
Wait, so your wife is sick and you think a lot of cards from random strangers will cheer her up? In my experience, that's rarely how wives (or for that matter: husbands) work.
I'm all for random acts of kindness... not too sure about soliciting them.
