  @everyone Thanks for your responses and answers. But my question was more about if there will be accessible means (i.e., not requiring any real “motivation” or semi-advanced technical skills) to trace your username to your real name, not just uncover information related to your real name… Does that make sense?

  @asmonet I thought I would have avoided doing that by prefacing the entire question with: “It might just be me, but recently I’ve observed that…” I’m not sure how I could have rephrased the question as this is clearly based on my particular observations and assumptions, but I’d be interested in your suggestions as to alternative phrasing/structuring. I also do not think it is a widely accepted or believed notion that texting is safer than talking on the phone; I realize there are exceptional people who can text without looking at the phone, but I’d say comfortably that most people use their phones in generally the same manner, that is, we need to look at our phones to use them. I don’t know of any way to quantify this statistically, but just walking around town every single day, I can safely say most people look at their phones while texting unless of course they are covertly texting with their hand in their pocket, look-out And also, I texted 10 people while composing this response; they all agree with me :p

  @DominicX I disagree with your first statement. I think texting/chatting is much more dangerous, for no other reason than the fact that you are looking at something else. Both are inherently distracting, but while talking on the phone you can at least look ahead.
