Just a friendly reminder for your safety, that it's never a good idea to post your personal information such as last names, where you live, what school you go to etc.

Thanks for reminding YNers.

Glad to hear that.

Unfortunately, people are not always trustworthy, especially when they can hide behind a computer screen and type lies to unsuspecting people.

What's that name again Crzyme19? I must have missed it the first time you posted it...

Celtic knows where I live... In fact, she agreed to be my penpal... andI am glad for that... I love having a penpal again!!

really, Ynlissa??? Did you get that noisemail I sent to you?

especially e-mails. that drives me nuts when people just post their e-mails and IM's and names etc.

If they google my full name, they'll probably end up with porn - definitely not me.

But thanks for caring Lissa.

I will post my name and town/state if one asked, but rest assured: my social security number, ATM card, PIN, etc. will not be divulged.

. The reality is, we could all give our full names, addresses, and telephone numbers, and post personal pictures, and none of us would be the worse for wear.

A few people know my adress. I'm waiting for the stalker. Or the mail bomb. Or the anthrax envelope.

It's a vastly overblown fear. No offense, Lissa, but I wish you'd stop catering to the paranoia of technophobes. The reality is, we could all give our full names, addresses, and telephone numbers, and post personal pictures, and none of us would be the worse for wear.

Nobody should be forced to display their private information, but nobody should be forced to conceal it, either.

I don't either. But then again I want to have a stalker for some reason.

i have no problem posting my first and last name. As an artist its expected.

I think the only thing you cannot say or else you're seriously risking stalking is your adress. The est you have to say like in a "combo", such as, giving you last name, your frist name, your pic and your hometown.

Well, a little too late Lissa. Dauben new my name in the first place (and town), then stupidity blabbed it. And plus, there is a thousand other people with the same name. So names shouldnt be a big deal.
