  What makes someone SO crazy that they decided to take the time to figure out where another poster works/lives and their contact info? That is beyond nuts.

  I heard about this poor girl!

  I "Internet stalked" a nestie once, to show her that she needed to change her SN and private info. She didn't think that it was a big deal, so I found her DH's myspace and got their wedding photos, googled her and her DH's last name and got her address and phone number and where they worked! She FINALLY understood and changed her SN! So it all worked, but OMG! the ENTIRE world is on the internet, protect yourself!

  Oh, wow. That's pretty crazy. What was her SN? Her full name or something?

  Man!?

  This is the reason my FB account is not my full real name (I excluded a few letters from my last name)!?

  Also, if people know your first & last name, it's so easy for them to find you on sites like: www.whitepages.com ?That's how that guy that's bothering me right now found me last time and was able to send me something. =(?

  Kristy- Her SN was like Mrs.Garnder and in her bio she had like "Allison and Chuck" and that was enough.

  Also- her cousin or sister was on the nest too, and SHE also had a SN that revealed too much and the more information available, the easier it was.

  This is why I have such a problem with SIL posting my private family pictures on her public fb! She has her whole life (name, employer, her church, etc) and every moment of her daughter's life, on public display and now she's exposing my daughter. My page is private, even people who search for me can't see my default picture unless I add them, AND I only add people I know.
