Daizee, no-one can "see" anything about you on here anyway, whether you post or not, other than your user name and a list of your posts, unless you choose to fill in the 2 profile boxes at the bottom of the membership information page. So no need to stop posting...just be careful what you say if you want to remain anonymous.

OTOH, I've been using internet forums, newsgroups and bulletin boards since the late 1980s, usually under my own name, and never had any problems with ID theft...but I do keep certain things private and I'm fairly computer-savvy, so was usually aware of how to minimise vulnerability without being overly-paranoid
