Yes, this is the most pragmatic way to deal with privacy issue, as much as possible information has to be make public for everyone.

>You want family and friends to know exactly how much you make?

Not really but I would like the information to be public, that is they don't have to know but if they want to know they can.

Its great that I don't have to hide it or worry about it being leaked.

If this information being public cause me trouble then we'll find a way to solve that issue rather than fixing it by hiding the information.
