This may be bothersome only to me, but I would very much appreciate posters having some or all of your profile filled out.
I know that it helps me in responding and evaluating information posted.
You don't have to publish your street address!
Please fill out your profiles.
I am posting this here, because this is the forum that I utilize most.

Russ · July 18, 2005 6:34AM

Aside from the fact that one can enter anything they please, the profile info it's all that enlightening anyway.

I thought your last name was Brainless Nitwit, Russ?

Russ · July 18, 2005 6:38AM

<< I thought your last name was Brainless Nitwit, Russ? >>

It used to be.

I had assumed, Russ, that accurate info would be entered.

It never entered my mind that any of our fellow posters would do anything but,.......

solid · July 18, 2005 6:44AM

I do use the profile occasionally so that I can address someone by name
when responding to or initiating a PM, but it's not always there.

First names, at least, would be nice to have sometimes, but I understand
people's desire/need for privacy, too.

I say post the info if you want to, otherwise don't!

My profile seys:

<<<First Name: The

Last Name: Dog

Nickname: Dog97

City: Lower Alabama

Province/State: Alabama

Country: United States >>>

If you will respond & evaulate me differently if my profile said:

First Name: Clancy

Last Name: McBride

Nickname: Fancy Clancy

City: Prichard

Province/State: Alabama

Country: United States

I'll change it asap. But if you knew I was that million dollar collector Coin World was always writing about you might not take my posts seriously.

Julian, please PM me your Social Security Number so that I may correctly evaluate your bank accounts.

Thanks in advance.

It would also be nice to see more people add to the member listing at the bottom of the page.

This can be very interesting but not all are listed.

I didn't even know that existed, until you post made me look at the bottom of the page! I like that information.....Wonder why it isn't part of the normal profile?

UncleWiggly · July 18, 2005 3:30PM

Responses to my posts and questions have been about the same when I had it filled out or left it blank.

Some members elect to remain anonymous.

I have no problem with that.

USAROK · July 18, 2005 5:45PM

I just added myself to the member listing page. I noticed a lot of outdated listings, it would be nice if those who are listed will review and update their information or delete the listing if they no longer wish to be listed.

such as me, nobody must ever know what I look like.

LeeG · July 18, 2005 7:55PM

Both updated and have correct info.

I know it's early in the morning, but I don't see "member listing" at the bottom of my profile page, am I on the right page, what am I missing???

Trust me......... Giving out identifying info on these forums is NOT a good idea

mrdq · July 18, 2005 11:45PM

updated my age... wow.. have I really been here 4 years.. seems like only yesterday

downhome · July 18, 2005 11:53PM

My goodness!!!! Dog97 and I are almost neighbors> Saraland

pharmer · July 19, 2005 12:01AM

Never saw that member listing thingie, even though it's right there. That should make for interesting reading

There is a real security issue and one should consider what is safe to divulge
and what isn't. In almost all cases a first name and last initial will be safe. A
city and state are valuable too. You might not want to leave enough info for
someone to be able to come to your door with a sack that's big enough for
your collection unless you live at Fort Knox.

This all isn't critical but it can sometimes be easier responding to a person rat-
her than a "user name".

beartracks42 · July 19, 2005 12:35AM

Updated my info. My interests have really changed over the years. Don't know if that is good, bad or neither.

mgoodm3 · July 19, 2005 12:45AM

updated. Now a year older.

Julien · July 19, 2005 4:56AM

Under "Profile" I don't have info like Birthday. Also how do you upload a new icon (avatar)? I only see how to pick from icons that others have uploaded.

pharmer · July 19, 2005 6:46AM

Don't worry about birthday, that's another bit of info that would be risky to make known, although we are currently unable to buy your joining-the-forum gifts without the name of the dealer you are registered with

Barry · July 19, 2005 7:00AM

Shouldn't there be entries for mother's maiden name and pet's name?

I agree with others who believe posting personal info on a public forum isn't a good idea.
