Hi Sue,
No, I did not see any information I was not supposed to. All personal
account data is undoubtedly under virtual lock and key. If you look on the
My Account page, there is a Community Information link. There is a spot
under that where you can specify a Nickname (or your real one), a bio and
choose to show your email. Those are the pages I accessed. You can find mine
at the following URL: (you will need to be logged in)

http://www.bookshare.org/web/UserInfo.html?userid=7103

Sorry for the worry!
Jake
