I have never given out my full name on the internet (as in IRC and bulletin boards) and try to keep my location anonymous. Country and "where about's" is ok but very often I kind of claim to be from some place where I have lived or I have visited in my life (then again its rather easy to check out someones ip and isp to know where they are "from") - my thoughts and reflections are yours but my actual life is private and completely mine and that includes the exact place where I am from and people continually try to tolerate my wacky ways
