I’ve started a list of people in my life. I’m surprised at how long the list is. Not everyone plays a significant role but it’s interesting just how many people I remember.

With my off-line list, I track first and last names. At first, I thought that I would include first names with last initials on the blog, but I’m not sure this would be right. I don’t plan on writing any derogatory about anyone. However, I know I don’t feel comfortable thinking that someone may be writing about me on a blog somewhere no matter how innocent.

The bottom line is that I think that I will just use initials for people. I will still name places and dates, etc., but not people. This way the person I refer to will still remain at least somewhat of a mystery should anyone try to figure out my history.

Maybe someday, I’ll change my policy. But for now – I think this is best.

Any comments?
