I'm sorry, I didn't get the impression that he was looking for her personal phone number etc. and didn't mean to imply such.
Rather: say she's dropped her work number and no longer has an obvious ad, but is now working with a different ad and number (the scenario most likely to elicit an answer). To me, the most likely explanation for that is that she's
deliberately distancing herself from her old persona, for any number of legitimate reasons. If that's the case, identifying her old and new persona together in a public forum thread invalidates that. Any human (or possibly machine) can easily link the two personas.
I
have been accused of being paranoid in the past, though. And it's also possible that, in an unfortunate coincidence, she lost access to her old number around the same time that backpage was shut down.
