I may be wrong, but I don't see how you can find my personal information thru Net54 with one click.

And I'm not paranoid about being breached - I just don't think that buying/selling on the BST should require me to share with everyone my address, paypal, etc. which your plan requires unless I'm mistaken.

John, I think he is saying that if your full name and a location are listed for you, it's not too hard to find an address and phone number for someone through various online sites. It's not that all of your information is available through net54.

That makes sense but isn't really applicable for me as I don't have my full name listed here, and as a somewhat retiring high schooler I haven't populated the internet with my information yet. (And I just googled to make sure LOL.)

John, it's good to know there are some younger collectors on the board. Someone has to be around to buy all of the stuff we older guys have some day.

It is definitely hard to stay anonymous online, especially as you get older. There are just too many things that end up having to be done online (or are just so much more convenient and easy to do online) that eventually, some amount of personal information becomes available.

Correct. Thanks. Many of us have posted things that come up from here on a simple Google search. Along with much information as well.
