Oh, I'm not too concerned with that; if somebody who knows me IRL knows the forum name I mostly use, he could start to browse forums. What would he learn? That I'm a software engineer, play the Hammond organ, play chess and go, take pictures, read books and did some martial arts in the past?
He may find some opinions and statements such as "I won't ever buy an Apple device anymore because..." or "I hate DRM". One of the most "dangerous" statements would be "I don't like managers who never did the work they are now managing", but even that is something I would tell you straight to your face if you asked.
(But that's all a bit off topic; maybe you should start a thread about this
)
