The best answer to the original question should be: Why does it matter? Who cares? Why is it your business? Do you not have anything else to do? Are you that bored? Why are you so nosey? If you are, are you not embarrassed for people/providers on here to know that you are a possible stalker? Ugh.

And you can't see a possible problem or awkward situation that might come up? Its not that we're being nosey, It does happen.
Take my situation a while back. Seeing Lady A in the RW (socially and intimately). Also actively trying to make an appointment with Provider X. Then while hanging with Lady A she shows me some RL info (pics) that show Provider X (a relative). Given that I'm seeing her socially there is a strong chance that I will meet Provider X at some point if I keep seeing Lady A. I'm not stalking, being nosey, whatever. Didn't seek out the situation. But had to deal with it BEFORE it happened. Worse still would have been if I HAD seen Provider X WITHOUT knowing the connection and then met her with Lady A.
Lots of other possible permutations that might need to be dealt with that I had never though of before that. And yes, I'd like to hear abut other cases and how they dealt with their situations. IJS.
