Ok, So I get asked this a lot: "mpracing05, why won't you give out your personal information"  Followed by "mpracing05, please send me your personal information so I can mail you payment" and then usually "dude, what the f? I'm trying to pay for the item I bought and you gave a fake address to eBay, Paypal, and the local PD, who I've called to try to arrest you for public nuisance to no avail." 
  The last quote is maybe an exageration, like when I said it was a footlong, but it aides to prove the point.  No one should know who or where you are, exactly.  This could lead to things such as harassing phone calls, visits from the local authorities, and court officials serving you with papers.  These papers could include such things as restraining orders, notice of proceedings, and requests to appear.  (and no, "i'm appearing right now, i can see my reflection in your glasses" is not a proper response).  
  The glory of the internet is in its inherent design.  It was made by hackers, for hackers, and with hackers, and most importantly, near hackers.  This means, of course, that if you know the right people, gain access to their mother's basement, and roll a 48 and then a 73 within your next 10 rolls, and without hitting a prime number on any two consecutive rolls, they will grant you the power to IP spoof.  It's like a worlock spell that the gatekeeper of the underworld casts upon the unsuspecting internet, and makes it look like your computer in Salt Lake City, Utah is connecting from an internet cafe in Polynesia.  And no one is the wiser. 
  As far as names go, I would never write that my name is Bob Newfellow, for more reasons than that just plain isn't my name.  Well come to think of it, if my name wasn't Bob Goodfellow, maybe I SHOULD write that my name is Bob Newfellow.  But lets, for a moment, presume that my name is, in fact, Bob Newfellow. (ok, just an aside here folks, if my name were Bob... why are Robert, Rob, Robby, Bob, Bobby acceptable, and not Bobert?) I digress..   To get back on track, if my name were in fact, Bob Newfellow, I would not SAY that my name is Bob Newfellow.  I would simply make up an internet persona such as BBGDFLO49rs.  The 49rs part is simply a ruse, since I am a Pats fan. Or if my name was Bob Newfellow, I would definitely be a Pats fan.  (go packers) aw the Denver Broncos!  Tom Landry would not be impressed.
  To sum it up, all ducks should be slow roasted in a deep pan, de-fatted often and basted, with fresh basil and rosemary and a sliced lemon in the cavity.
