I asked a related question about how often you lie, on a daily basis, but I think this is more apropos for today's general aesthetic.

Anyone that knows me personally might have enough clues to find me on here if that was their goal. Govment agencies probably could too if an agent was assigned. I try to talk about my personal circumstances in general terms, like you can know what cities I've been to and live around and maybe which corner of it but I take various measures in attempt to obfuscate any precision beyond that. One measure is I wait at least one week to several months before I post an original picture of mine, and endeavour to keep my hands or silhouette out of the photos.

I try to source my information in the same way between subject areas I am knowledgeable in and those that I'm not to lead people off the trail to where my actual expertise is.

What I can't hide is how much I love trains though. That will be how "the man" finds me.
