Analog's observation is correct. Most of us think that no one could possibly have enough interest in us to try to uncover who we are. So we don't bother to be careful. I suppose real criminals, terrorists, etc, are very careful about the tracks they leave behind, yet many of them still reveal important information that leads to their demise.
I doubt that many people try to totally disassociate their digital self from their real one. But I wonder how many of us do things online that we don't want our real time friends and family to discover?
