Agree. Strongly agree. Why? Because for one, there are things that I say on Yahoo! Answers that people I know in my daily do not need to do. There are just some things that you dont mind stranger knowing because they are less judgemental... or that they really won't say anything to you... or that they you will tell you straight up what they think and you don't have to give a crap about it.
For two, there are some things that people ask over here regarding to those people, so it'd just be awkward if they found out.
And for three, sometimes its just better so then they wont start answering your answers and then ask you questions regarding the question that you asked that they answered.
Wow, that was a mouthful...

I'm assuming that as of now the only person who can read it is you. Some people write blogs to inform their friends on their life, others to tell the world their opinion. You seem to be using it as a diary that happens to be on the Internet. Which is totally okay, as long as you're sure that you're the only one who can see it. And if you do decide to let them see it, first go back and read EVERYTHING you wrote and think if it's something you want your friends to see. They'd probably be able to see it all. If you read it through, you just might find some things you don't want to share. That's that. If you don't want to share, don't. Don't let them pressure you. Maybe you could make another blog, that doesn't have as much of your personal life.

Hmmmmm, in "real" life---how about personally, anyone you knew personally. because for the most part anyone signed up to "Ask Your Question" can read the responses, and to tell the truth, you never know who is out there watching in cyberville.

I never put anything into writing that I wouldn't want printed on the front page of The New York Times.

It depends, for me the Questions that I have posted are general knowledge that I would like to get. Nothing personal and hence, I am not too worry about it. But yes, privacy is an issue and it might prohibit you from asking questions that you are dying to ask if you know someone know who you are :)

No i wouldn't i agree with you. It's personal information. I'd only share it with someone i was really close to or if the information could help someone else in a similar situation.

Well as far as the questions, yes i will because the people that really know me i keep it real and they know what to expect from me.Now as far as the answers that would be up for the people answering the questions, they might want for me to keep on the hush and i respect that.

I would not let no one in real life not look at my questions and answers as it is personal to me and it is not something i would not want to share with ppl in real life.
