better to be honest up front or come out as soon as possible when you find out there is a problem then to keep covering up even if it will be problematic to bring it to light. it just gets that much worse the longer you wait. if what you are doing, you would not like written on the cover of the new york times then you should probably think twice about it.

for our company we are as upfront as possible and error on the side of giving too much information. here are two posts we wrote about it:

I actually always “lie” about my age on public forums where that information can be seen to avoid identity theft. A birthday is a key piece of information for identity thieves.
