Being zeroed is a thing of the past. It's impossible to remove yourself from the net; yellow pages are online, people keep a cached record of what used to be up...and if you ever post to a mailing list or a newsgroup, you're doomed. NG and ML messages stay archived forever on many servers.
I've removed my real name from everything but NG and ML archives, which I can't. My new first real name (which rhymes with Cannapaula) will not appear anywhere, because it's unique; nobody exists with that name. Without that link I should be very difficult to trace, and impossible to find on a simple search.
I found it necessary to divorce my RL name from my VR activities after receiving threats on my career from total strangers who could indeed ruin my career if motivated to. This is a problem with an information era, and is yet another reason I'd dream of being in the arts if such a career were viable.
My VR activities are far too public, and I like it that way. I like being open about my tastes and opinions...but these are things that would get me lynched in most parts of this nation. I'm a dogdamned dissident.
