since it's in a network that anyone can access from anywhere, it's best not to give out any personal info that you don't want other's to see if you are uncomfortable with that.
i have posted pics of myself & so have all of my friends (one's i actually know and see) and we're all fine with that.
no stalker will be able to track you down by getting a picture of you-unless one actually wants to get a pic of you and start asking around OR (this is very unlikely) if one does a cross-hair search with your pic in a government data base or something (which is again very unlikely).

Well if you're gonna post you home phone number and address than you would be asking for trouble. As long as you post info that cannot lead someone to your door you are fine.
