Big Brother already knows too much about each and everyone of us already Thomas - might as well not make it easy for them. In this country - privacy is important. I dont think it is rude at all that people don't fill out there profiles - its a matter of saftey as well as a matter of privacy. I do enjoy the "favorite websites" area - I've been to several really cool sites that I never would have found on my own just by clicking those links. Its one of the only reasons why even keep my membership anymore. Lately this and several other boards that I frequent have turned out to be pretty ridiculous... too many "wussy" bulls around here for instance. There is really no way to be sure what is put in ones profile is accurate anyway...That may sound like I'm too skeptical, but, I can't help but think that much of what is posted is fraudulent. Cyber space is a weird place.... Rock on Rock

Not disclosing information about oneself gives the individual the ability to masquerade as an expert if one wants. The old definition of an "expert" is a person a long way from home with a briefcase. How true! I am not saying anyone on this thread does it...but one wonders. I supposed that everyone on this thread was looking for ideas that would help them become better investors. We need a vehicle that allows us to ascertain the accuracy of a persons observations, or opinions, and it is nice to see ones profile. I do not believe that age or area of professional competence is trivial. On the other hand it sometimes is not entirely relevent either. It is just another piece of the puzzle. Makes one wonder when I read a post with terrible sentence structure, many misspelled words etc and all of a sudden when that person is queried about his background, he changes his wording, spelling and sentence structure and relates his entire dossier of work experience. Are you suspicious?
