matrixmannA common question seems to be "How did you find me?"
Well, I could have found you through one of your associates, through one of your own posts, through a comment I've read, I could have found you through a search engine or through possibilities that your associated network provides to find out what others do (latest entries, ratings, promotion).
If you're wondering, just think about what you do.
If you write openly, prepare for guests. It's a public network, everyone can find you.
If you don't want that, just hide and protect yourself.
Public means public.
All who find can read you. Be it somebody who likes you or be it somebody who hates you.
It's what this business involves.
