Hopefully this won't happen again. Yes, the 'Impressum' isn't really promoting privacy. For you non-German guys that's the imprint or masthead you see at the third tab of the header image of my blog. Bloggers are required to feature this in Germany. Well, it's a grey area but you better have one. I never really thought about burglary in this context but it's possible, of course. Actually it's scary to think about it. First, sorry about the lost comment. Hopefully this won’t happen again.

With us needing to provide our addresses in the impressum everybody can easily figure out there we live (and even if you don't have one, they could still use the database of the denic). And there it is: it's in my eyes just a matter of time until a blogger/siteowner will get killed by an insane freak who felt offended by the content and who could easily down track the supposed 'offender's living place and therefore him. I bet that's why female bloggers tend to not blog on sites they own and rather use a hosted service. That's really a problem which is going to become huge. One last thing to think about: You post that it's going to be silent on your blog because you go on holiday to -foreign country- whilst you're away someone breaks in your flat and steals your fancy expensive picassos. Why? because they knew your away and where you live....
