"Dude" you sure sounded like you were trying to convince me that it's not.
Why are your panties in such a bunch? You don't give a shit, and couldn't care less if information is leaked or not. I couldn't care less what you care about. See how that works? As for the impact it has on your life, I could actually give a lot more shit about what impacts what part of your life, but I don't.
And this whole thing about it not being private.. That is a revelation to...no one here. Thanks for that gem of information. What about my post saying that I don't buy his excuse implies that it actually is private?
What makes this funny is that you don't give a shit about any of this, yet see the need to post in a thread that is obviously about the very subject you so don't give a shit about to point out that you don't give a shit about how it's not private.

I assume you get something - entertainment, information, or chance to tell us how much you don't give a shit.
Guess what, by being on here, by posting, by having a membership here, you've agreed to the rules of this place. I like to stand by the agreements I have made, so I give a shit. If you do not, that says something about your character (I know, you don't give a shit what I think about your character).
As for not needing to "convince anyone of anything", if you truly believe that, then you are a waste of air. Someone said that all forms of communication is an attempt to convince someone that you are right. You might be trying to convince someone that you're intelligent, funny, well informed, well read, or whatever. If you truly have no intent to convince anyone of anything, then all communication from you lacks a point by virtue of your lack of intent. That makes you a waste of bandwidth here and a waste of air on the other side of your monitor.
It's that fucking simple.
