I'm 38 and just two years ago my very snoopy mother followed my Internet footsteps to find out what I was posting on a forum. That was public, but not really because I had some anonymity. I know that we really aren't anonymous if someone really wants to find out who we are, but I still felt that was completely uncalled for. I wanted to maintain anonymity. From my post (it was a poem), she got the crazy idea that I was demon-possessed.

Then again, my mother is a subject all on her own. How would she feel if I let everyone know exactly who I am and exactly who she is? It wouldn't be fair to her.
