Wink Re: public information

This is exactly why I am very careful about posting personal information online no matter where I am posting. I still do not bank online and all my e-mail and other accounts do not have my full name, complete contact information or medical history.
Many of us also signed hippa documents protecting our privacy in our doctor's offices. If our hospitals allow us to access our own medical information online we need a password to do so.
We have experienced spam at her2support.org. No one knows what information the spammers and other visitors are gathering about us. We want to be able to share information freely and help each other, but we still have to be careful about very personal information everywhere online. I agree with Marynne.
Do an internet search on your name and see what comes up. You might be surprised.
