I am not like that at all, I gave my email below to show the product. I wanted secrecy because if I showed the product publicly people will know who I am because my name is all over the product and I just didnt want people to know certain things about my life (like physical abuse) so I prefer staying anonymous. I push my product all the time I dont believe in secrecy, stealth, etc for your startup.

In that case, it might have been better to ask for advice without including the personal info you aren't really comfortable with. (I am pretty open about the crap I have been through. I'm not successful, financially/business-wise, so perhaps it is wiser to keep the two separate, I really don't know. I just think you have created an awkward situation for yourself that could make it difficult to keep the two things separate in the future.)

Said with the absolute best of intentions and in no way intended to be snarky. I realize "good intentions" are well known to pave the way to hell. I apologize in advance if that is the case here.
