One little tip if you're concerned. Never post a picture of yourself unless you're certain the people who are going to see it, aren't people you know. That's how I got busted twice. I never, ever thought these guys would happen on LS since they're as far from the type to frequent a purse forum, as you could possibly think. Well, it turns out that both were googling things of interest to them which weren't relationship oriented, read my comments and thought they recognized the style, tracked more of my posts, then confirmed it was me when I posted the odd pic. If not for the pics, they wouldn't have been certain.
Yes all the time! It sucks, I feel like I can't be completely honest. My EX knows of this site, and a few friends.

I once thought my BF posted on one of my threads. The poster made a comment that sounded soo like him. God, I was so horrified. Turned out to be just a false alarm, but I have been paranoid ever since.
I always just figure that none of them are as obsessive about relationship issues as I am, but I sometimes find myself changing small details to protect the guilty.
If members give even the slightest bit of thought to creating user names that nobody knows about and don't share them with anybody...and don't tell people they come to this site...and clear their Internet history (all precautions that even the most unsophisticated person would know to take to protect this identity and information here) none of this would be a problem.
Unfortunately, there are many people who can't do anything without telling the world...including posting highly personal information on an Internet forum and telling people exactly how to get to it. DUH!!!
No matter how many safeguards you put into place, it's possible by sheer coincidence that people can find you. If it's that big a deal, the best thing to do is not to post it at all.
Sure, it was a little strange that I got stalked here. But...there nothing that I've posted on LS, that is detrimental to me as a person or at least what I consider detrimental. If anything on LS reduces me to my friends or anyone of romantic interest, then it's best that we part ways because what I express on LS, is what I express in real life. If they haven't figured out who I really am, that's not my problem.
I don't know how anyone I know in real life could link me to "johan". If anyone did, I don't think I'd be bothered about what they would find. Other than the "hairpiece" thread, I haven't posted anything terribly personal. If someone did put in the time to figure it out, I'd have to question what their problem was.
