O.K. Alan, I'll bite.  Here's what you stated and folowing is how I
would respond.

First off we don't have groupware here so there is practically no way
that anyone could cross the invisible private or personal spaces
associated with this type of process.  However,...

I am in the process of automating my personal calendar which has both
advantages and disadvantages.   Advantages include more control and
more privacy and less likelihood of transgressions.  disadvantages are
less flexibility, less portability, and the loss of some ability to
permit others to "suggest" appointments.
The interesting thing is that I leave my office open and people often
put little pink slips about meetings on my chair.  They don't paste
stickies to my screen as I have made it abundantly clear that I don't
enjoy cleaning glue off my monitor.  Still, some people still will not
even enter my office (it has nothing to do with the fact that my office
looks like a bomb site :-)) becasue of their cultural background that
has different rules about personal and private space.  This kind of
thing is very individual and extends into the technological
environment, at least IMHO.

BUT, to get back to the question.  Although my norms, cultural
background and experience would make me want to make my private
schedule closely held, I think that I would like to try it out to see.
