I can certainly understand Ann's dilemma. I know that in my work, I have to be very guarded about my personal information lest a disgruntled client decides to retaliate. Being as high profile as she is, Ann attracts nut jobs on both sides. She has inflamed some of the most vicious extremists on the left, not the least of whom is the queen beast herself (with a trail of bodies in her wake), by simply telling the unsugar-coated truth about them. On the other extreme are her adoring fans, among whom are certainly those who aren't tethered too well. Even here on FR, there are men who can't mention her name without nearly wetting their pants. If I were in her shoes, I would find a way to keep my private life far from public access.
It seems to me that I remember reading somewhere a while back, that there is a legal way that celebrities, and Ann really is a celebrity in her own right, can handle keeping their private information out of public record with good cause. There are just too many lunatics with computer skills and connections in high powerful places.
Well, I intend to help Annie all I can ... by buying her books so she has the wealth to live where she darn well pleases and a closet full of those little black dresses. She looks marvelous! [/Billy Krystol voice]
