I dont think it will great effect your privacy the only theing anyone can do is send you messages, and I do believe you can decline if someone adds your pin and invites you to add them to your BB.
I don't share my pin just for convenience. The only people that pin me are my husband and my best friend. It's so much easier to know that when I get the pin signal that its one of them.
I don't have a problem sharing my pin. Of course I'm usually too busy to chat but there are times that I would enjoy it. None of my friends have a BB so the only people I could chat with are here at CB.
Some people are really cool and stay that way. Some are really cool then get annoying and ignore when you're unavailable and continue to send messages. Then some people change so you ignore them completely, then lose interest and just delete them. Then they send you a PM asking why they got deleted. I used to share but now I honestly think I'm jaded. Are there any cool, laid back, honest, easy going normal people with RIM devices out there?

i really dont see it being that big a problem since an unwanted request is easily combated with a denial of chat. didn't everyones parents tell 'em not to talk to strangers with candy? hahah. but in any case i think its fine.
