User Profiles

Having been active on Astromart forums for a few years now, I have gotten to know many of you who post here. It would be nice however, if folks who frequent these forums often would post a little something about themselves in their user profiles other than the minimum name and city. No personal information, just a little something about you, why you're interesting, why you like astronomy or other interests you have, maybe even a photo of yourself. I think it would make using these forums much more interesting and fun. I might even post a pic of me if I can find one that doesn't scare women, children and dogs.

What do you think?

Some info on yourself might be appropriate for many, myself included.

HOWEVER what scares me is that it is easy enough to find anyone on the net at this time in our "information" heavy society of ours.

MORE NERVE WRACKING for me at least, is listing your background and such and then closing your posts with the list of AP goodies you own. HEY bragging rights are a freedom, but why post your expensive hobby items publicly, the less than honest will figure at least this stuff is worth and effort to visit when you are not at home AND they will probably find other valuables in the area for their efforts.

PRIVACY has its benefits.

YMMV,
