Giving out your name on usenet is certainly enough to get you into a LOT
of trouble. And it's stupid. Any expert or just someone with common
sense would know that.

Exactly what kind of trouble are you expecting? I would worry a lot
more about the letters I sent to the newspaper than ****ing off
someone half way across the country.
The reality is I am in more danger driving to the grocery store than
"stranger danger" from disgruntled readers of my opinions.
Having my day to day Email address here does not even generate that
much spam.

Do you REALLY think that it's wise to give everyone who has access to
the internet your real name? REALLY?? That's just stupid!

In short, I think only a complete fool would give his/her name on the
internet unless he/she had to.

That would be a valid concern if virtually everything about you wasn't
already on the internet. The only thing I don't know is who is posting
this stuff on Rec Boats.
If I was an identity thief I would start with a white pages name and
work out from there.
It is amazing what you can find out about people if you buy the $40
search.

Anyone with a facebook account is the real idiot. That is a treasure
trove of personal information.
Do you block cookies? Do you go through an anonymous search engine
every time you search? If not, you are being tracked.

So, you're claiming that everyone who has a FB account is an idiot.
Well, gee gramps, I guess you're stuck in the days of old when men
were men and sheep were nervous.
