Believe me, I understand. I'm the queen of paranioa. Like I said, I sent in my donation with a money order under my posting name. And then Dr. Bob kindly sent an acknowledgement (for both donations) to my office address which I had foolishly put on the envelope (this was back in the days when an envelope with no return address would likely cause a panic at the post office). So my office got *two* lovely letters acknowledging the donation addressed to Dinah (and they didn't know any Dinahs). Sigh. Fortunately my best friend (now deceased) worked there, and by the second letter had figured out that it was probably me, so she gave it to me. Fortunately I trusted her implicitly. But it gave me a major panic attack, I can tell you. Other than my therapist and my husband, no one knows about my Babble involvement. Of course, I'm not sure if there's anyone else I would mind knowing about my Babble involvement, but still I understand privacy concerns well.
Ok. I'll admit that it even scares me to click to a book to Amazon to buy it through Babble links.
And I can definitely see the problem when there is a joint credit card for married people. My husband knows all about Babble, and has promised not to peek, but not everyone is married to my husband.
