I refer of course to "The internet" (OK, PH) and the more realistic but less interesting "real life".
I called my insurance company yesterday to make sure my policy would renew, was having a chat with the guy on the phone -it's quite a niche company I think, not like Direct Line or anything, so I guess he had time to chat- then he mentions "Oh, and thanks for recommending us on Pistonheads". eek Turns out he (or I guess you, if you're reading this) is a bit of a regular.
Was a bit of a shock really. My side of the conversation was a bit "Er, Yeah, I'm on it a lot too" after that.
Of course it would be easy to ask "oh, so who are you/what's your username then?" But for some reason it seemed rude.

Has anyone else come across this?

And who are you Insurance Man!?!?

i know Sky insurance follow alot of the forums, and owners clubs.
Helps them as well though, people openly discuss mods on forums, but not on insurance details.
