Isidro Ramos, I’m o.k. with the IRS. I’ve been married to my Dagupan sweetheart for 42 years and (surprise!) I’ve always been completely faithful all that time. I don’t have any hidden skeletons in my closet. There are no nefarious reasons for me not wanting my last name printed. I’m proud of my Portuguese surname.

The main reason most of us who write to the Forum do not use our last names is that we leave ourselves open for someone who wishes to use that information for misdeeds or just to harass you.

With the use of the internet, a little patience and by using of a person’s first and last name it is very easy to find addresses, telephone numbers and the names of your family members.

Mr. Ramos, do you want someone you don’t know having access to that information? I don’t think so.

I hope this answers your question and thank you for being a gentleman by respecting my desire to keep a certain amount of anonymity.
