RHC: I've been on this newsgroup for 15 years, always using my real
name; my website has all my contact information as well, and I've
never had any sort of a problem. Unless you invite trouble through
undue controversy, I don't think others would do such a thing out of
spite.

I've definately been called naive before; however, what can anyone
really do unless you are prone to receiving bad things and taking them
for more than they actually are.
