Greetings, yeahright. Always nice to see you.
You've probably been around longer than I have & are more techno-savvy
than I but I think one has to be careful with the posting of any
photos one has taken.
The following is an extract from Cosmos warning a guy called @ about a
photo he had posted in sim:-
***********************************************
Thank you for your nice comments and also the nice pictures you posted
for security to all I will mention the following security risk!
I observed in the pictures you posted that they still contain the meta
data that was embeded into the the photo by the camera,(all digital
cameras do this)
These pictures are perfectly harmless and legal, so no problems with
them
however I would point out that the metadata contains camera type and
serial number and in the event of illegal content may allow the LEA to
trackback via warrantry registrations and identify the purchaser of
the camera should they be minded sufficient to do so.
This data can be removed/striped by ACDC/photodex-compupic or adobi
photoshop mostly when the file is compressed and whoever the author
was failed to removed this info. Programes exist to do this single
task.

As you probably know, the metadata can be accessed by right-clicking
on the file & selecting Properties-Summary-Advanced.
All the best
