I made an ascii private key once and sent money to it. The money was withdrawn by someone else instantly.
I also read recently that pretty high BTC funds 'changed' it's owner.

I'm just an exotic troll, but I wanted to share with you that I believe it is dangerous to reveal your legal name. I believe we need to set a norm of everyone using pseudonymous identities, and accessing networks via more difficult-to-identify means.
The reason is that there are a wide variety of community groups right now, looking for ways to break up and add stress to other community groups. If random people can't associate your name with things as easily, you, your community, and your work, are safer.
What are your thoughts?
Well, my thoughts are (I remember the old Usenet days when cypherpunks used all their real names) if I would start to use now a pseudonym 3rd parties, trained in that area, could easily identify me with the help of software, when collecting threads from various places where cypherpunks, activists etc. post on public places. And in case I would start now (here) under another identity it would be super hard for me to write under a second persona. But in general you are right, people should do that and public places like Mailing Lists should also support injecting messages, via whitelisted anonymous Remailers. Regards Stefan
