[tlug] Privacy question - owner settings

[Dave M G <dave@example.com>]

TLUG,

Just wondering...

If I make a text file on my computer, and I look at the permissions and 
information, it says "Owner: dave - Dave Gutteridge".

I'm on Ubuntu, so I see this by right clicking on the file and selecting 
"Properties", and looking under the "Permissions" tab.

Is this information in any way attached to the file? Specifically, if I 
upload it to the interweb, and someone downloads it on their computer, 
does it still say "Owner: dave - Dave Gutteridge"?

Or is there any other information that gets stuck to the file that can 
identify it's source?

I hope not, because I kind of feel weird about my name getting stuck 
to... well... I don't know what, exactly, but I'd like the default to be 
that my name isn't attached to files.

Hopefully the owner thing is just a local designation, but can someone 
put my mind at ease as to what the deal is?

Thanks for any advice.
