As the mother/stepmother of 4 adults/teenagers who are all active on the web, I know that they have as much access to this forum as I and yourselves have, as do the rest of our extended family. They are as familiar with the overall (family discussable) facts of my educational history as no doubt some of you are. Perhaps others do not have this problem.
I use my real name as I have pointed out. I can also confirm from personal experience that publishing your name on Friends Reunited cannot be done without opening an email channel, or at least positive identification.
