All these different personal information posts freak me out
"Mother's maiden name"

"City and state were you born"

"Birthday"

I'm waiting for the social security number inquiry.

1. As they should
People need to realize there is only a small amount of info needed to determine their identity on the internet

4. Once, a DUer I know outside DU
addressed me by my real name here in the forums. I had a mini-Chernobyl of the brain and frantically PMed him, pleading with him to edit my name out of the post.

I probably overreacted - there are other forums I use where I use my real name - but DU being DU, it felt really 5-alarm at the time.

3. Oooo. That's weird. I felt the exact same way when I saw those.
It could get a whole lot creepier.

We must not be afraid.
