The argument that personal information is necessary to distinguish the
author from other people with the same name probably carries some weight
for authors named "John Smith" or "Bob Miller."  There are few enough
people named "Doug Ewell" in the world that the risk of ambiguity of
authorship seems much more remote than the risk to personal security if
too much personal information is provided.

OTOH, if "Doug Elwell" is unique enough to identify you personally, it's probably unique enough to allow tracing of your residence and employer, if someone was willing to put in any significant effort.
