I am most displeased with this. I don't post much on the boards, but I do on occasion. Usually it's to help someone in the UI and Mods forum because the rest of the boards are a cesspool. Now I'm not going to touch them with a 10 foot poll, because it's supposed to be MY choice on who knows my real name.

I dropped my maiden name in google. The FIRST hit I got was to a background check website. Without paying a cent, I saw :

My full name, my age, the towns in which I have lived, people I have lived WITH and my entire immediate family, all with links off to providing the same information on them.

That is not information I want every spedster in the world to have. Not to mention it completely obliterates like half the security questions out there for places like your email or banks. I've seen security questions like "Mother's Maiden Name" "Street you used to live on" "First Phone Number".

My married name is pretty much off the grid and I'd like to keep it that way.
