It depends on what is showing up that you want to hide and where it's showing up. For example, if your Yahoo ID has part of your name in it, then you will want to create a new Yahoo ID. If your name is part of your email address, you will need a different email address. You might want both, but I can't really decide that for you.

Also pay attention to how your email is set up. Typically people set up their email with a Name associated with it, so when they sent an email, their name is associated. I don't know anything about setting up Yahoo addresses so you would have to pay attention to that as you are setting that up (I'm assuming you're using Yahoo email only because you posted here that way).

If it means you have to re-join a class, just make a comment when you join the class that you changed your email and already talked to Kathleen about it.

Hope that helps.
