I have never thought of doing this (adding my own name), but I can kinda see
the benefit. I would never use real addresses or phone number though.
I went through a phase a few years ago, where I added brewery company names for
testing purposes. Everyone else in the company, upon seeing these names,
instantly knew they were mine.
Recently, I have been inclined to use the names of political leaders.
I have also used my family's names (husband, daughter, dog, etc.). I guess
that would identify that it *really* was me who did this.
Hmmm...... worth thinking about perhaps.
