Well my real name is Fishy. I am like Cher but not as cool. :P

In reality, I don't put my location on here as even with that, People can find me. :O

just to make it clear again - it's actually a serious issue.

Just to make it clear - real first names is generally fine I think.

it's when we have first name and surname, and then maybe you add the location - there's not much room left for anonymity.

Ultimately it's everyone's personal decision - but it could be a real security concern for some of our members.

thanks for your cooperation on this guys...

Can we save the schtick for other threads, please?
I don't have to want to close threads like these.

thanks

Thanks for this reminder. I saw a thread where an entire family (even a child) was named & the location of the poster is under their avatar. Made me cringe as they would be so easy to find. There have been a few times I've been tempted to use my real name in a PM but have stopped myself. You truly just never know...

Thanks to all the moderators for ALL the work you do for us. I can't imagine the time & effort it takes to keep up with this crazy family! I appreciate each of you.
