Hi Alan, not sure what you mean - feel free to elaborate!

Just for info in case it's helpful - the site is intended for publicly 
available info, not for storing trade secrets. I'm currently quite happy 
for organisations I'm involved in to have their publicly available 
details listed on it. Should I not be? Obviously if people think there 
are security issues even with publicly available data than that would 
mean they wouldn't want to use this, so I'd be really up for 
understanding this.

cheers,
Tom.
