It is very disconcerting...

yes if you put your name on your profile..then yes the information can be had...which is why people shouldnt use their real name

but you must realize that there may be more than one person with your name in the world..so targeting you would still be difficult...

to be exact..you would have to get the ISP and be able to track it with your ISP
or hack into SI and get the name and address behinds someones alias..

that is why I now never give correct information on anything if I have to sign up to get a password...but there still is the issue of the ISP...
