Posting things on the internet always carries the risk that someone will "figure out who you are" - just ask Fake Steve Jobs how that went. But it's a valid concern and one that I would love to investigate. How do you keep some sites from showing up on sites like whoisi and is that something that we can realistically prevent? I'm happy to add something equivalent to robots.txt for personalities if someone had a spec for it and a reasonable background for it.
