Definitely food for thought. Especially the reference to www.unitedfed.net The fact that you were somehow able to research THAT info on me is both surprising and disturbing, although I realize you are just trying to make a point. Point taken.
If you have a bit of google-fu you can find out a lot about people who tend to use their screen name in multiple places. Especially if it ain't that generic. In this case it is sufficient to look for "macarthur1961 star trek" - not that much of a stretch - to get this info on the first page. (Well, you'd have to assume that the same user name means the same person). So it always is a good idea to keep this in mind. You won't be able to completely prevent it, and usually people won't really bother - kjfett most probably really wasn't interested in you but as you think in making a point - but you should keep more sensitive things apart from your day-to-day stuff. I'd recomment two email adresses (one for the "private" you, one for the "business" you) but that's not as important as using different login names passwords on, say, steam and your online banking.
(As for me, even though this isn't my usual screen name online you can find out about my real name, address, work places, phone number, age, marital status, ... with a couple of progressive google searches if you just know what to look for. No nude pics though, so it probably isn't worth the bother)
Ewe!
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
