Re: whatever happened to filling out profiles?
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
Many people are becoming more and more cautious about any personal information floating around in cyberspace. And, for good reason.
As for this forum, the issues and questions raised in the postings carry their own merit, that is, to be discussed or ignored relative to the readers interest.
I deleted my profile information sometime last year.
It has come up a number of times, seemingly as a complaint, about forum members not filling out their profiles. Cyberspace creates an "insulation" from identification where you can say anything you want and pretend to be anyone you want. Brent said it well, a profile can be anything you want. Hence, we have forum "terms of service" in place to prevent anything from getting out of control.
So, ignore those who don't fill out their profiles? Hmmmmmm, I hope I can say this without coming across like a jerk, but, I have always regarded this forum as an excellent source of information about many areas of windshield repair. However, it involves a great deal of "weeding". One way I've looked at it is that many postings tell me "how not" to do things.
My point is, it is only one of many sources that I have and will consult when seeking insight and information.
