What does one do when they think they're being stalked?#

Okay, I'm probably not being stalked, but sometimes I find some of the searches done that lead people to my site kinda weird. For the past week I've gotten multiple hits for the same "corey gouker" search done by the same IP around the same time. If it were coming from England, I'd think it were my crazy ex, but it's not. Plus I think I did a pretty good job making it clear that I didn't really want to hear from her again unless it was through PayPal returning the cash I paid out for a plane ticket. Dom's Zero Contact Procedure sorta worked I guess.

But seriously, when there's more information about you online than ever before how do you really control it? Sometimes I think people don't realize how easy it is to cross reference IP's, usernames, emails, locations, nick names, and any other one or two bit piece of information. With the right amount of digging and guessing it really isn't all that hard to find out just about anything you wanted to know about someone who lives a good portion of their life on the net.
