We are also talking to every single person with an Internet connection or

ago I stopped using my last name on any public Internet service. In a
flash a number of people I "talked" with on alt.cats and some other
places no longer knew me. I had a need to do that and in hindsight it
was right for me. Can someone piece together enough to figure out my
last name and all the rest, yes but that is because I did allow it out
and still allow a very low level of identity out in dribs and drabs.
There is no regular poster to this group that anyone should need to worry
about but the entire world has access not just us. I just think you err
on the side of caution: unless one of you told me to post your
information I would not post it. Like everyone I make mistakes and I
consider this was one since it seems like Susan did not say post it even
if she would if given the chance. I am not beating anyone up but beating
up the poster (a lurker?) who brought the point out seems like attacking
the messinger.

btw: there _are_ a few people who know the link between my old id and
"outsider" and I would hope they keep it to themselves.

I am one of those few people who have almost no web presence. Even if you
knew my full name and where I live, unless someone gave you my address,
you would be unable to find me. This has become more and more important as
employers check out the web to check out whether or not to give someone an
interview. Facebook page they don't like - there goes the interview. Web
page they can link you to that has something controversial on it - there
goes the interview.

As I am fixing to be applying for jobs in public relations/marketing, I am
so glad I haven't made my presence known far and wide on the internet.

smartest thing to do. I constantly use google to search out my phone number
and adress along with my real emails to make sure nothing is there

I have a block on my credit report and social number unless I say you can
look at it. It don't happen
