Ron,
I did the same thing for an E-commerce forum I frequent. With sites like
www.Zoominfo.com I am not sure I want all the personal info to be so readily available.
I am not hiding behind a keyboard as most everyone knows who I really am. But you never knows who lurks on the other end of the monitor. It is for that very reason I took my last name off of the signature line. If I googled my own name CC would come up with many of my post. That just made it to easy.
