+100 Shea and THN. As important as protecting your Social Security and DL #'s.
THIS!!! ^ ^ ^
I've been in the hobby for a long time and do not show my face, not even in private emails. It's never hurt my business in the least. If anything, it makes people more curious.
It doesn't matter what some of the guys think you should do -- it's up to you to protect yourself. Sure, you'll see their responses but those are based on what they may selfishly want. Their opinions likely do not have your best interests in mind, especially further down the road.
Everything posted on the internet is forever. People are known to dig up materials from 15 years ago and can use it as ammunition. You have to live with the consequences from the moment you open the lid of Pandora's box until indefinitely.
Please be careful with your decisions.
Edit: There are several good posts since THN's 1st reply...........

Please be careful with your decisions.
Edit: There are several good posts since THN's 1st reply. I stepped away from the keyboard for a little while to handle a few distractions before finishing my initial train of thought.
