This is an interesting thought:

Perhaps there should be PBD's (please be discreet) as well as PBC's.


Well, reading this thread made me curious, so I searched my name at google. None of my posts here appear, and I went through 14 pages of sites, at least.

But I have not given anyone my screen name anyway. My paranoia is about the fact that not recently, but a while back, I did tell some friends about this site (not my name, tho). So every once in a while I get paranoid and wonder if any of them would come here and read and figure out who I am.

Or that someone who came here on their own would recognize me from things I say. I have tried to avoid specific info tht would place me geographically or professionally, etc. etc. but someone with a lot of time on their hands could probably make a guess. I know the likelihood of that is slim, and slimmer still that someone who happened to come here on their own would read enough of my posts to figure out who I am etc. etc.

But each time I disclose something that in and of itself doesn't reveal my identity, but could be recognized by someone who knows events and people in my life, I get a bit paranoid.

Discretion is the key word. I mean if you think about it, I am writing my personal stuff in a published document which will go on into perpetuity and is instantly accessible by just about everyone with access to a computer. Am I being discreet enough?
