To wish DM hadn't told dsis about MN?

Dsis is one of those types who post random sad one liners on FB when things are a bit shit. Has done for years. More recently she realised that it was getting v negative and possibly ppl weren't as sympathetic as before and maybe found it a bit of a drag. (It was quite a large proportion of posts at one stage. )

I sometimes mention having read MN to DM, who has rightly figured that commenting on here helps me work through my issues. I've been here for nearly 10 years I think, under different names, and it's really helped in a number of situations.
DM is going to tell/has already told (?) dsis this as another place to post her problems. But some of my posts are pretty identifying if you know me well, and there's plenty of detail I haven't wanted to tell anyone IRL.

AIBU to feel put out that all my previous stuff is in danger of being revealed to dsis?? I used to post here because I knew she didn't have an interest in it!

My sister recognised me from one post on one thread (which included no info I would have classed as 'outing' - no ages or genders of DC, no geographical or biographical details, nothing.) She just recognised a situation with my DM and DMIL, figured my username indicated I was a fan of something she knew I liked, and recognised my 'tone of voice.'

Luckily my sister is wonderful and I have no secrets from her waves to DSis if she's reading this but still it was time for a quick name change.

rushes off to name change again

Luckily

Sorry to derail, just wondered if @turdconsultant would like to help me campaign for the poo topic I'd like on MN Grin. Big gap in the market.

Filling Mumsnet's "Big gap in the market" with turd? Could work.
