You use that knowledge and if you are lucky to be close to that lake you go fish it and in particular that spot.
People share info to let others less fortunate to have fancy electronics or years of experience like many of you do.
Truthfully, when has it ever hurt you personally to share a spot or two on a multi acre lake? Your spot can only be 50 ft square on that multi acre lake so what's the big problem?!?! I will venture to say you seasoned anglers are hurt emotionally and not personally because you spent time with your fancy electronics, or hot tips you got about a lake and hate to see others get info you had to spend your own time to find.
From this point forward, I swear, I will post spot info on any location I find fish at that I know I cannot fish 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I am not going to be selfish and sit on that spot that will help others catch a few. Do you seriously think sharing info in the forums will drain your supply of fishing spots? Think that a hoard of people will "steal" all your fish? Think that there will be a big "fight" at that spot because of you? You can't fix stupid. People will be who they are no matter what you do or say. In other words, you can't do anything about others that may or may not do something bad at that spot you give out.
Shame on anyone that are bashes people for posting info on any spots they have. Shame on you. Bashing someone for posting their own info on their own spot is immature and unprofessional. I think the people that bash these people are the biggest problem and not the other way around.
