FYI, in defense of Tippie, the googling of this particular screenname produces a real name so common there is no way to tell who she really is.

Kinda scary, really. Makes me wonder how much more things are going to change by the time my kids are old enough to start hitting websites, discussion boards, chat rooms, etc.  |
I googled that too. I have to say I'm a huge fan of the song on her myspace. Now I don't want this to turn into a rash of 'let's google each other' because that is crazy stalkerish and then we're getting retro and trust me-I have had to make changes to my online behaviour etc. because of the retro so I'm not a fan.
Simply put-use your screen name other places and here if you're not ashamed or worried about what you've got going on online. Otherwise make some changes because there are some batshit people out there who stop at nothing.
