Advice please

The general consensus is take your time and ask questions. I will back this up and reiterate it.

Also, something that was not mentioned, you can be tracked by your IP address. This can be done if you go to a site that a person actually owns, and from that he can get your physical address. If you do not believe this is possible, then go here. http://www.ip-adress.com/

I just checked that service with my own current IP number (which I've had for about a month now). While it does offer an airview and even a map, and it does hit the right region, the pointer lands about a mile off my real location. I think what it actually picks up is the ISP's main network hub for that part of town. So that would be useless for any real attempt to find me or get my postal address

Actually, all this pulls up is the first part of your ISP to locate you, there are more sophisticated.
