Facebook. You worry me.

katharosLike most people I try to keep my fandom self (Katharos) seperate from my real world self (Kate last name deleted) in the 'public' part of the internet.
So it's a bit worrying when Facebook offers up someone I only know from fandom under 'People You May Know.' And the only reason I picked up on it was because they use the same handle on Facebook as in fandom.
Just. How? We've exchanged a couple of emails using the email I use for Facebook - is that all it takes? Is Facebook monitoring my hotmail history? Do I need to resurrect my fandom only account? Am I revealing my lack of Facebook knowledge by even asking this question?
Argh.
I mean, there's nothing really worrying about this particular incidence. It's just the idea of links being made somewhen, somehow, without my knowledge or control.
