It's such a shame because reading them back is like reading a diary, but my mum did a search on Jeune syndrome and found my posts on a German board, where I use the same name as here, so it's only a short step for her to find all my messages on MN, which I've told her about.
And other people might do the same and read things about me they should never, ever know.

Is there any way I can save the birth announcement thread about Sebastian?

And please can you help me find a new name?

Kaname.

Anakme?

Or do a search on your own name and only get the really personal stuff deleted.

I used to worry about this but tbh decided in the end that if someone who knew me was that interested then good luck to them, they'd be bored of reading about how many stitches I had etc fairly quickly!

CD - that's why I thought I need to get everything deleted - because then once she found me on this site she can search by name for all my old posts.

It's just that she knows this nick now. I could quite easily just get all the post mentioning Jeune deleted otherwise.

You can copy all threads you want to keep into Word and save them.
Thanks for your mail btw... will reply soon!
Not feeling creative right now but will do some musing and get back to you later!

That was my first though, CD - but if emkana's Mum was googling Jeune syndrome she might still find them and figure out emkana is whatever emkana's new name will be. Unless you could just have the very specific ones deleted and change name on the rest?

Emkana, have you posted stuff you really really don't want someone to read? If not why get your posts deleted?

emkana is the beginning of my first name and my daughters' first names.

About Sebastian - will start a thread in a minute!

Maybe if you change your name then you could get all your posts changed to that name

TBH if your mum wanted to find you on mn it would be pretty easy just through Sebastian's name or looking up Jeune Syndrome though

could you print off important threads like Sebastian's birth announcement as a keepsake ?

marthamoo · 29/06/2006 19:30

Can you print it off?

Where's emkana from - is it a version of your real name (you don't have to answer that if you don't want to!)

How is Sebastian now, btw?
