If a friend of mine stumbled onto the site I don't think it would be too hard for to recognise me from reading what I have written previously.[/quote]

Longtime-
Yes, it's true, a very close friend would probably know writing style, opinions, etc., but you could always play dumb and deny it. This is a big world, albeit intimate with modern tools of communication, but there are bound to be a few other people with similar styles of verbage and similar opinions, so as long as your real name is not in your screen name, you could probably get around them knowing.
