I gave one good reason someone might have earlier.  As for my own
reasons (other than the philosophical/ethical issue of privacy) it's
quite simple.  I have a distinctive name, I live in a small town, I do
/not/ want phone calls about Wikimedia or Wikia in the middle of the
night.

When I first decided to keep my name private, I was concerned about
SOLLOG and the way he was harrasing various Wikipedians.  Nowadays I'd
be more worried about someone phoning me up to ask how to change the
logo on their Wikia :-)  but either way, I'd rather that didn't
happen.

(Yes, I know I can get my number delisted.  No, I don't wish to do that).
