Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Until a little over a years ago, I had never heard of message boards. A friend told me about a local one and I joined. I loved checking my email every day and hearing about everyones lives. Then, I joined another one, and another one, etc. I love visiting with people all over the world. When I joined the first one, it asked me to fill out a profile and, like a good little girl, I filled it out. Later, when a new person joined our group, I decided I would check out their profile. Surprise, surprise, they hadn't filled it out. I don't know what the purpose of the profile is if no one wants to fill it out. It's just a tool to help people get to know you better. If you are ashamed of your age, you don't have to put that in. If you don't want to put a picture in, that's fine, I don't have a picture in mine. If you don't want to put your town in, fine, put your state in. If all you put in is your state, your first name, and your hobbies, NO ONE is going to be able to locate you, if that is what you are worried about. Anyway, I just wanted to get this off my chest. Fill it out or don't fill it out, but don't read my profile if you aren't willing to fill out your own. I know, I know, I can't stop you from reading mine!!! Go ahead. So you know more about me than I know about you. Guess it doesn't matter, anyway........................................jb We have met the enemy and he is us.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Judy, I can appreciate that you like reading profiles. I find them interesting to read too some times. Yet on the flip side, the more info you publicly release to netizens, the easier it is to track you if anyone decided to take a real interest in you. I deal withy cyberstalking and harassment cases as well as others, and blank profiles are the way to go .. tho I agree, not much fun to read. best regards, Lisa ¸,.·´¯`·.»§« Practice a Random Act of ndness »§«.·´¯`·.,¸ © Spiritually_Speaking spiritually_speaking- : ) Permission to share freely as long as credit is given. - " Judy " <zmansgram " friendschatcorner " <friendschatcorner; " friendsinseoklahoma " <friendsinseoklahoma >; " idabel " <idabel >; " Alternative Answers " ; " redneckredhats " <redneckredhats > Tuesday, November 21, 2006 9:48 AM This DRIVES ME CRAZY!!
