Do you ever wonder who is reading your posts...
Discussion
Do you ever worry if someone you know is reading your posts without you (obviously) knowing. Seeing a lot of threads recently about relationship problems it got me wondering and as PH now has so many members, surely it must be happening to some people.
A girl I worked with, I knew her username - she used it on a lot of forums - one forum I belonged to - but she didn't know I was registered. I used to read what was going on in her personal life and what she thought of some people at work. I obviously never told her I knew it was her.
Do you worry when you reply or start messages who may be reading them? Perhaps a work colleague or an ex girfriend/boyfriend who you would not want knowing what's happening in your life now? Does it hold you back from mentioning certain things or perhaps you couldn't give a toss who reads them.

My username is only used here and is quite generic being a Nissan car. People I've met through PH will obviously see my posts but tbh I don't care as I rarely see them and they're not part of my life as it were.
I did however have an ex who was looking at what I posted. An ex work friend blurted out something that she could only have known on PH and even though she denied it I knew it was the ex who told her.
Pretty sure she's moved on now or at least I hope so. :

HOWEVER - it would appear you have a very dark and dirty secret that you need to tell us......????
LOL, I have loads..... 
But I am always conscious of what I put in a post and sometimes I post, then feel I have "exposed" too much of my personal life and then hit delete.
I don't worry about anyone reading what I've put. Mainly because the internet is a publicly accessible, fairly easily searchable source of information.
Therefore as a rule, I only put what I would want others reading, and what I would say to someones face anyway.
You only have to have a quick look through the facebook fail page to see the spacktards who do otherwise and see how amazingly well it goes..

I do sometimes wonder how many people get involved in a keyboard scrap, call someone else a complete twunt (or similar), and then pop into their local and have a chat with Joe/Bill/Bert who they've been drinking with for years, not realising that they've just shredded them in some thread or other!
