It couldn't.

One thing that I would like to see is additional information in the bio section. I use this a lot to try and learn more about our members. The one thing I rarely see though is the person's name and gender. It would be nice if I knew more member's names so that I could be more personal with my responses. I am amazed at how many of our members do seem to know so many of our member's names. I put my name of Lee, and since that does NOT indicate my gender, I give that too. I think the bio is a great idea. After being a member for eleven months, I just a few days ago broke down and added my age.
(No looking.) Of course, a person should never be required to tell anything about theirselves, but I for one, would just like to know more about our members. I have went back through all of the spotlights and this is also a great idea; I would just like to be a little more personal, for instance when awarding points. As an example, for whatever reasons, I had always thought neetanddave was a man. It was just yesterday when I found her spotlight that I learned different. This is NOT a suggestion for any of the people that run this site, but rather just a thought to those that are filling out their bios. Do not give any information you do not want to be public, but for those of you that do not mind, it may have just not ever occurred to you that this would be nice to know information for people like me.

I like the siggies that include the member's name. (Doesn't mean I'll always remember it...)

I agree, Lee, I would love it if more people put a little more info into their biographies, nothing too personal or anything, but maybe a name and/or age

Hmm, you must have had me on ignore too long, Lee. It's pretty obvious from my location "with Dave in the BBQ Capital" that I am NOT Dave, and I know lots of people refer to me as Nita or neet.
I know I have big brass ones sometimes, but geez....


As far as personal information in the bios, I think people sometimes put TOO much information there. The internet is not the safest place to be telling too much about yourself.

I agree. I belonged to a site once before, and we gave out alot of personal info. I had several PMs and e-mails from people I didn't know, but saw my info and wanted to "get to know me better".I won't give out that much again.
