I would be interested in not showing my Public Profile to the world at large  
IF  
I had to use my real name and didn’t want it to be known (eg. my boss Googles me and sees I’ve called him a \*\*\*\*)  
My email address was visible to all and I feared a deludge in my Inbox

I do think Public Profiles should be non-visible (except to Staff) for non-accounts however.
