Fair enough. Do be aware though that using your full real name on internet forums can leave you very exposed in terms of stalkers, future employers and all sorts whom you might not want linking your online persona to your real persona. This is especially relevant if you don't have strong security settings on facebook, for example...

Mindless matters
I'll deal with that when the time comes.
Considering the fact I rarely post anything inappropriate on sites such as facebook in which finding my name around them is plausable, I believe that if I play my cards correctly, I'll be safe from most things.
I'm safer considering the fact I claim my location to be Hylia.

That isn't the way to go about it, and besides saying you're from a fictional place isn't "safer." I can look up your IP address and know where you are and that you posted from your public school. You should never share your full name on the internet.

Agreed
You've given us your full name, and your IP address has given us the name and address of your school. That's pretty significant.
If I wasn't on a different continent I'd be half-tempted to phone your school and tell them that their kids need a lesson in internet safety!

I doubt it, especially the way she's going about touting it, but still good advice. :)

Well the name does come up on facebook but of course that says nothing in the way of its legitimacy
