And I'm on every spammer's list known to man. So far this month my spam filter has trapped 272 emails a day on average. And that's not including what gets outright blocked at the gateway, but only what gets delivered to my spam folder. :)
Anyway, I'm used to my employers finding all this stuff. I get a lot of "cool website" comments when I get hired. :)
Sir William:
That's awesome man....I mean about the cool website comments, not the spamfest your inbox is seeing daily. Geez...
Sir Brian:

I'm sure it isn't so bad for our good Sir Edward...although I have it on good authority that his "delete" key is in dire need of a vacation! :D
Sir Matthew:
I'm ok with using our real names. My personae name is my first name, traditionally I have not used my last name, as it was not really necessary. As for privacy, well I used to be concerned with that, but I'm in the phone book and I'm pretty sure my name, phone no., etc. can be found elsewhere online so I'm not really concerned about that anymore. My last name is German/Swiss so for an English Knight it may be a little strange.
Sir James A:

I use a specific screenname for most forums, but MyArmoury and ARMA make you use your full (first and last) real name, so I did the same here and on all arms & armor forums I'm on for consistency (and so I can remember my login). I don't mind my full name being used, but of course, James Anderson is probably only slightly less common than John Smith. As mentioned, Facebook uses full names, but I think a key difference is that those profiles (and all info on them) can be set to private/friends only.

I had to interview someone at work for a position. Young guy. I walked into the room, shook his hand and said "Hello, I'm James". And his reply? "Hey, you're the ninja guy!". I stuttered something incoherent and sat in shock the rest of the interview. We spent some time after that interview, figuring out how the guy found out to say that. Turned out that if you google my employer's name, then my myspace page I had at the time came up, as I had them listed as an employer, and there were only about 25 employees at the time. And I had my "ninja" picture as my profile image at the time.
Thankfully, we didn't find out until after he had left from the interview, and wasn't hired ... his myspace page. We googled his name to see what came up after my "adventure". A MySpace Band page that he is a member of. No big deal. Oh, except that there was a picture of all the members completely naked, with strategically placed instruments covering questionable bits of flesh. Might have been more, but one was enough, and that window couldn't be closed fast enough.
At that point, the ninja thing didn't seem too weird any more....
