But I just have to ask, why are some members here SO worried about it? I share my first name. Which, actually that in itself would already make me super vulnerable. But I guess I am not scared. I'm not worried about some internet crazy stalking me. I've been around the net for years. Met some people (from other than mommy forums I might add) and have never had an issue. What is it that we're worried about? I honestly want to know.
I don't think it's a matter of fright for some. For some, it's a matter of principle. For example, I think it is very offensive that people like OP and Lumpy will go out of their way to try and indicate that personal info. I guess you can say I've always hated punks and that level of immaturity. I also think it is a bad and highly lubricated slippery slope to let members embark on. Just bad news all around, especially when you KNOW assholes like those guys will joyfully engage in that type of thing. Bad apples ruining the barrel, I know.
