Welcome Daniel and Ben.
Yes, lostxprofit is right. The parts of the forum where you have posted can be seen by everyone in the world, including the dreaded "bots". It would be safer for you to only share your personal details by asking people to send you a Private Message ("PM") You can see how many messages you have up at the top of the page. It works just like e-mails but only between WrongPlanet members.
Hope you find some friends here; best wishes.
