The thing about things that aren't work related -- it doesn't show up blatently if you don't list it.

For instance, if you don't want to mention that you worked at a particular job, there's an obvious hole in your work history that you might get asked about.

There's always plausible deniability (someone else uses that alias, too ... there must be someone else with that name ... someone is trying to damage my reputation ... etc)

I've always made sure in any job interview or application form that I use one of my more 'professional' looking e-mail addresses (login based on my name, and not a host in my personal domain (annoying.org)), and there are a few things I've done that I don't bring up (like that I was one of the 4 admin on fark.com until June 2000), or many of the other things that I've done in non-work time, except maybe the GW solar car project, leaving out the bit about how I was thrown off the team in 1996 and threatened with expulsion after informing the dean that the faculty advisor was doing some less than ethical things (not knowing he was overseeing a US$3M grant, so the university wanted to get rid of me, rather than him), but the government caught up with him.
