Yesterday one of the RW sent me an PM . I was surprised to see that her full name was shown on the sender line, in brackets after her user name. I mailed her back and she later confirmed that my full name was also visible on my response to her. We were both rather surprised by this revellation. While it is OK between she and I because we have met and know and trust each other, we both feel that in other circumstances our security might be threatened. ie... we often mention things like when we are going away. If we have also stated where we live either in our profile or in a post at some time.. When we filled in our profiles it stated that our first and last names were required information,. I had no objection to the site owner's having access to that detail, but it did not state that those details would also be visible to other site users who chose to send us a pm. . Even if we choose not to reply, the sender can see our full details when she views the mail in her out box. We both feel that our full names should never be visible to anyone. What do other's think ?
