Personal information in published articles, should this be avoided?

  << <i>I have recently been contacted for pictures for a major coin news magazine. The author has offered to put my name and eBay user ID in the article as having provided the pictures.
  
  I guess I was wondering if people have their full names listed in magazines like this often. Should I just ask that my eBay user ID be listed and leave my name out, or the other way around? I don't have many coins left of substantial value as I am getting out of the coin business to spend time with our new child and some other interests. However, I don't want to bring wacko's around that search my name and get an address.
  
  Does anyone have suggestions? >>
  
  
  
  Nothing wrong with your name but leave the eBay id off.
  
  
  
  Presumably, your coins are in a bank vault somewhere.

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

  It's nice to see a little modesty in the face of fame.

  Names are published all the time. Is this better?

  I've had Coin World publish my name and pictures a couple times, not really an issue.
