>>Should I have no patents? Those put one’s name all over the internet.<<
Public records are public records. We can’t control them. But we should not add to the public database of information about us.
I know if someone were to mine the thousands of FR posts I have provided they could get a HINT of who I might be. But I am careful to ensure there is no overlayable data in my few RL Internet presence to link that person to FD2003.
Some have suggested that it is even better to have a different handle on different sites (not a bad idea). But, when it comes to opinions, I want to be consistent and known for what I think.
But I guard my RL information closely.
Understood. My comment was mostly aimed at those who say “If you let your name get on the internet, then you are an idiot.”
