Hello,

my tips are :
- don't use your real name as osm nickname
- don't use the sane nickname for your wiki account (you often don't 
need to change it) and your(s) survey account(s)
- use several survey account if you want to split the information
you leave behind (for ex one acount for your home location,
one near your job location, one for your holidays)

it won't make your life anonymous. But if someone looks at your home 
account, they won't see where you work or on vacation, it divides the 
amount of information accessible at once at little cost.

of course use an email provider whose business is not about selling
your privacy

Regards,
Marc
