My cover is blown

In the short time I’ve been on CC, I’ve recognized one student (who used his real name and initials as part of his screen name, declared his home town and then posted enough identifying info that it was easy to figure out) and a parent of one of S1’s friends (that because she posted something eerily close to a conversation we had about her younger daughter at hs parent orientation this year). I myself have posted enough identifying info about my kids that if someone from my hometown wanted to, they could probably figure out who I am by reading enough old posts (especially those in the college forums where I mention S1’s school). Kind of creepy, but probably my own fault for posting info on an internet message board, no matter how legit.
