<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 826412, member: 19456&quot;]I don&#039;t hide it but I don&#039;t go talking about it anybody and everybody, either. For instance, I am a fan of several numismatic things on Facebook (Including CoinTalk)....but in my year plus on there only three status updates has been about numismatics...and one one of them was very specific.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I even use my real name as my username on all the boards I post on. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m a generally pretty open person, I don&#039;t like hiding and sneaking stuff around. I can keep secrets for decades (in theory, I&#039;m only 25) but I am not the kind of person who likes to do that.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Luckily (?), I am pretty anti-social and don&#039;t really talk to anybody that often. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My direct family knows, my best friend knows, and my friends from these forums know. If anybody else knows about it, it means they were paying closer attention to what I do then they normally do...which is not too likely. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Besides, I have nothing worth stealing. Just barely getting by, you know? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve shared the best I&#039;ve got, and it&#039;s the kind of stuff that most on the forums consider to be not worth collecting, or at least it seems that way. I don&#039;t mind, though, because I enjoy it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I sometimes wonder if I should be a little more guarded then I have been and continue to be. But I figure, I&#039;ve gone this far, why turn back now? I&#039;ve been using my real name on message boards since the year 2000, when I was 15. But on any of the other message boards I&#039;ve ever posted on, no one has ever been concerned like they are on this forum, and they are usually ALWAYS more open and stuff like that (I&#039;ve been invited into people&#039;s homes without really knowing them more then once, but I don&#039;t really take them up on it because that&#039;s not the kind of guy I am) Also, on the other forums, it&#039;s abnormal for people to NOT use their real name, or at least sign it on posts/emails, whereas on these forums it&#039;s rare to see a real name as a username, and some people protect it like it&#039;s a national secret...guess it&#039;s the mindset.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
