First, your wrong about that. It was very simple indeed.
Second, you're very sloppy and have left all of your info 'out there'. I mean really?! You sign up here under the same name you use elsewhere, with enough 'what I do, where I am' info to make the match a virtual cinch, and are surprised? Not too smart are we?
And thirdly, rest assured, I would not post your info under any circumstances, period!

As you have no doubt discovered, there are a lot of "MineralMans" out there. From what you have written, some of your information is incorrect. Some of it is probably correct.
You are right. Most people who believe themselves to be anonymous are not. If I really wished to be anonymous, trust me, I know how to do that. Perhaps I have done just that. Perhaps not.
I have no doubt that what you believe to be my information has been passed around in private messages. That's fine, but the information you have is incorrect, at least in part.
I do not publicly reveal my identity on Free Republic. That's my choice, as it is yours. It's possible to discover my identity, as it is possible to discover almost anyone's.
I will say this to you: If you believe you have my identity, I caution you not to use it in any way that might be considered threatening. That has happened in the past to me, and did not end happily for the person doing the threatening.
