Hope you don't mind the butting-in, but I think the issue is that you really don't know who is reading this, and sometimes you may have stalker-like people of the online and/or in real life varieties. If you're in a small town, random details may be used as clues to ascertain your identity and likely whereabouts. This particular post was a not very long street in a small town.

99.something percent of the time, there's not going to be any problem, but what's the upside of putting yourself at the small risk? People have been SWATted and worse over some imagined slight or whatever online.
