A good reminder that anything you post on a public forum is public, even if you don't use your real name.

Once, for "fun", I googled a couple of unique expressions that a friend of mine uses, and lo and behold, I found her on a message board. Sent her an email addressing her by her screen name. She nearly had a heart attack.

I said, Let that be a lesson to you. If a fat old semi-computer-literate sick person in the boonies can track you down...watch what you say.
