That is the very reason that we ask people to use screen names, why we don't collect specific intimation about who you are, and we encourage you not to put that information on the posts or profiles. Why you have a visible email address and an encryption that sends it to your real one. The Internet is not completely private -anyone who thinks that is naive, but what protections we can put in place, we have. Those that use forums on Facebook and other cancer forums are forced to disclose who they really are. Your information is sold to others and you end up on untold lists in the name of dollars. OCF does none of that. As a publicly viewable forum, people can come and read and learn from all of you, but I could not tell except for one or two, who any of you are, and I have no way of knowing.
