It didn't know anything about any address I threw at it, so I feel pretty secure. And I'm as public as it probably gets, I make absolutely no effort to hide my identity or whereabouts.

The address [email protected] you mention in your profile gives a hit for an Amazon account in Kansas:

Doubt that's you though, probably just an MD5 clash, since it's a long way from the Netherlands?

I only see one other check in my access log from the same IP that checked for your address about an hour ago; mishu<snip>.com. That did find a flickr account, though it appears to be private, so not much info there.
