I'd leave off the bank account numbers for donations, use PayPal instead. :)

Yep, you may want to consider 2 versions of your resume, one you hand to
people for "official" purposes and an "online" version where that kind
of info is left off.  Personally, I replace it with "Available upon
request" or "Left off for security reasons"...it lets the potential I'm
really watching out.

Hmmm...although I did almost get nailed at work.  A robot grabbed my
resume and used the first email address it found to "email me" about a
job.  I had obfuscated my own email address so the "first one" the robot
found was my current boss's!  He forwarded it to me with the question,
"Something I should know?"
