I guess the question is, where? I think the only place I would trust is HN.
I've got to remind myself to not be so paranoid. There aren't people spending their whole days lurking to steal 'your' idea. Even if they did, the vision isn't there to see it through.
It's natural to be paranoid about such things, but you can overcome it. It is extremely unlikely that someone is just waiting for a good idea to copy (and that yours is the one they will pounce on). And even if you don't tell people, they'll find out when you go live. So all you get is a bit of a headstart.
Really it's worth far more to get a wide variety of opinion and critique, and potentially a cofounder, than it is to guard the idea for fear of having it stolen.

Why not put the idea out there and ask for help in building it?
