I don't mind watermarks and things like that. The reason why I write a nickname on my photos is to identify the name of the person who took it. I don't mind if they still it, since the same photos are posted in several other forums, all which are web-ready (a few kb in size). The original 20-45 MB in size are kept at home.

This is what I decided in the end to do. So less complicated but I had fun playing with the app that I have since few years and never used it.
I just post mediocre shots. Then you don’t have to bother with watermarks etc. nobody cares!
Things like these don't matter: a watermark, a photo's mediocrity, nor that anybody can steal it. A watermark is just an identifier that points to the person who took it, much like the usernames in this forum. Nobody cares about usernames, just the photo. Still, the photo leads to the forum's username or person who took it, even if not having a watermark. It shouldn't matter if some forum members use watermarks or not.

Well, the camouflage works. It took me a moment to realise there's not just a cute bee...Taken a couple of years ago along a few more. A trap set in a crab apple's flower:

There’s a beautiful hotel there my wife and I like to stay at called Beach House. It’s right on the beach by the marina.
A day in my life...and the reason I keep my phone on silent/vibrate unless anticipating a call.
Unfortunately, the calls will keep on coming. Terrible when self employed dependent on new clients not in your contact list and voicemail message is to leave message, text or email. When I am with a client, that is their time and rude to answer - wife knows not to call...but I can sneak a look at messages from her and others, and judge critical nature of issue for followup - immediate crisis (on way to ER) or general (loaf of bread on way home).
Overseas, international rates apply, paying for people wanting to buy my house or sell me a warranty on a car I traded in three years ago. Worse, checking voicemail is a phone call with international rates, so text/email only which is for me free, and if need to call, coordinate FaceTime/Skype connection.
Ray I'm in complete agreement here. I also limit the resolution of images I post online. Were I truly paranoid I could even reduce the jpeg quality to say a 6 or 7. Would still look good at the size posted but would quickly fall apart if anyone tried to interpolate up.
That said I do have a few images that have sold quite well for me over the years. Those I will not post on-line, even though I no longer have the ability to print them photographically.

Another remainder. I thought I had posted this one earlier, but could not find it in my media stuff.
