"With regards to privacy I always ask the converse question; Why would you not choose privacy?" Well in general if you want to attract business or benefit from something you have created you don't want privacy. Now for example I don't want to attract business from HN (for domain registration) so I choose to be private and not offer my contact info other than a gmail account. So I've made a conscious choice to not mix this. In other cases and in other places though (like a directory or list of registrars) I do the opposite (want to be listed and have customers come to me). Another case is at our business location we don't have a sign because we don't want people dropping in from the neighborhood (would waste time) and we have customers in maybe 100 countries around the world so that local business isn't important. Also I don't carry a business card I'm not interested in the local business registering with us then it could end up being a time waster. Of course if I was a local attorney I would. All depends on the situation.
