Yahoo!360 and Answers users: do you use...?

Question

...your real name and picture on your 360 page or Answes profile? I don't. With all the freaks out there that can get personal information from just about anywhere I just generally do not use my real name on the internet unless required, and only if it's on a secure site. Is anybody else like this, or do I have a case of paranoia? Is it really safe for me to set up my 360 page with my real name and pic? Serious answers please. Thank-you.

Answer 1

My name is Andy & I live in Greece, hence the name. I'm not a cat though!

Answer 2

it's def not just you. i would say less than 25% use their real name... and can i tell u something... i think those 25% are really stupid for doing it.

its not paranoia... its "better safe than sorry."

don't use ur real name or info.

Answer 3

if you really are paranoid i would suggest using your real first name and a made up last name.i agree w/ you i never use my real name in cyberspace, unless it is a trusted site.
