How important is it to sterilize the inside of a monotub with alcohol?

My q jars are finally colonized, and I decided to do something a little different. I made a few 6 qt dub tubs with a 4/1 coir/verm substrate. The spawn to sub ratio is 1/2.5. Anyways, this is my first grow from a tub, and I was wondering if I had to rub the inside of the dub tub with alcohol before spawning. Some teks specify to do so, most do not (in my experience).
On a completely unrelated note, I'd like to start making journals with pictures, but I'm concerned about anonymity. Is it safe to post cell phone pictures with the exif data removed?

Where did you read this? Fruiting isn't sterile anyway, just wipe the tub with a wet towel if it's really dirty.. I never bother though.
No one cares if you grow a few shrooms, don't sell to morons and you can post whatever you want.

I believe just soap and water is enough most of the time. Cant hurt though if you had some 
I don't believe it needs to be so sterile with spawning though.

Have it as clean as your dishes, and don't waste your alcohol.
Pics are safe and Shroomery removes EXIF data for you.

What everyone said above - just wipe it out. Also, photos are fine but don't have signs that will give away who you are. You'd be surprised - pictures with reflections in mirror. Mail sitting out. Better safe than sorry.
Also, loose lips sink ships. I would Keep it to myself and tell friends you bought or got from someone else.

Definitely don't tell people you grow. Morons like to tell their friends they know a grower.
