For me it’s not a matter of whether or not someone will “find” me, it’s a matter of privacy. I’ve shared a great deal of sensitive information of my life here. If my brother for example were to find the site, he’d recognize me immediately because there is nothing I’ve posted here that I haven’t said to his face verbatim. But the other posts about sexual abuse and things like that, the only person that I’ve shared 99% of it is my husband. I think this is an extremely helpful site and I’ve distributed the link to many family and friends, I would feel very uncomfortable if one of those people stumbled upon that information. By the same token, I would not like to discover anything sensitive about a loved one that they had not decided to share with me directly.
There are many PC friends that I’ve exchanged real names, addresses and phone numbers with. I’ve discussed issues that are somewhat specific to this region with members living very close to me. I’ve discussed my location in open chat. BUT, I am fully aware that privacy is just an illusion in this information age, I need enough ambiguity for plausible deniability for my own comfort level to share opening and honestly.
