Candy...I'm confused about where your column appears?!
You are not talking about the post here, and someone reading it outside PC and posting this ignorant response, I hope.
Are you saying you are a writer of a column which appears on another site and they actually list your other personal information? That's not good.
I have been a bit paranoid about posting myself even here, but I see a search of my user name on Google, etc., in the past does not show itself. On another forum, I made the mistake of using my Ebay seller ID as my user name, and the man I was dating at the time found it by doing a web search, and read all my personal stuff! Very embarassing and humiliating. I suppose people can be survailled and stalked anywhere on the Internet.
Recently, my credit card was hacked into from an online purchase to the tune of almost $1,000 before I realized what was happening.
As for the ignorant response to your column, he was a jerk, and should be ignored.
Love
Patty
