Its not about the data you are uploading - but probably the fact that<br>
you participate in an open project at all. </blockquote><div><br>Um, if you are nervous about others knowing that you participate in this project, then why do you do it? Is there an establishment out there that has an interest in preventing you from doing this?<br>

have nicknames?</blockquote><div><br>We have nicknames because it's easier to type in and is the "social norm" on the internet. I could just as easy type my full name in to the nickname field on OSM as "Foobar Stevenson".<br>

Nevermind my point made above...<br>

Yes - i know - you'll see the endpoints anyway but nevertheless. Noone<br>
should easily be able to read what i do.<br><br></blockquote><div><br>That's the whole point of this operation! If you don't want want people to easily read what you do, then you should probably not participate in something called *OPEN*StreetMap. <br>
