How many people also have their full name in the photo's EXIF data?

"Here's a pic of our family barbecue"

"OMG - we know your identity and where you live! You're at risk!"

Personally, I use a alias/screen name for my photos and decide on a case by case basis whether to include geo data. If it's relevant to know where the picture was taken, then include it, otherwise not. Admittedly, that requires a bit of knowledge and an appropriate tool.
