OCtoolguy Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 There have been numerous times where I have gone to a poster's profile to see mainly where they are located. Secondly to see what saw they are using and thirdly to see where they fall in age group. Other than people taking the time to "Introduce" themselves in the Introduction forum, too many people don't take the time to fill in their profile. You all know who you are so get busy and tell us a bit about you. Just sayin.......... Jim Finn and dgman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hey Ray I knew I had filled out profile maybe, I checked and it is except I moved over 2 years ago and am no longer in Indiana but in North Carolina. Glad no body wanted coffee they would never find me to share a cup some morning. wombatie, OCtoolguy and RabidAlien 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 They all come here for a quick answer to a question. It would help to know their location because sometimes the answer to their questions will depend on where they are. Even here in the U.S. location means a lot. How long does it take to fill in a profile? 2 minutes tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like the birthday filled out in a profile too, not so much cause that day of the year matters to me, but if I know I am talking to someone approaching my age group, then I know what kinds of analogies will be understood.

I see many asking where to purchase the full 5x5 sheets of BB ply.. lot's of folks also order it online.. But it's quite pricey getting it all chunked up into those 12 x 12 or 12 x 24 pieces.. then the shipping.. It cost me $12 a sheet..

NC Scroller Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I agree with Kevin. Knowing state and city would help us help each other. It would also make it possible for some to meet up for workshops, swapping/trading and possible fellowship. OCtoolguy and John B 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill WIlson Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I would fill out my profile, but when I entered the Witness Protection Program, they warned me about giving out too much personal information.

Wilson142 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I usually look at someone's' profile to view their album so I can better understand the tips and advice I see given in the forums. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) I'm not stating it is not nice, or helpful to have some of the information, I'm just saying it is up to the individual what info they want to share... They should not be required or feel it is mandatory or feel pressured to provide it. Just my opinion... I'm not a bad guy, I just am sort of private and I respect other that are also. It is not a bad thing, nor a good thing, it is just a thing... I often look at a persons profile to see what info they provide, just curious of location, often I like to know and use a persons real first name, and age, but if they don't provide it,,,, no biggie.

Well, just for an example, someone comes on here and asks the best place to buy one thing or another. Let's say just for the sake of it, they live in the U.K. If we don't know that, how can we offer any sort of advice? I recommend all the time for folks to check Craigslist for used tools. It helps to know what area of the U.S. or other country they live in to be able to offer any kind of suggestions. That's all.

oldhudson Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Ya know Ray, anonymity is one of the reasons folks join groups on the internet. And everyone has there own personal limits about sharing info. It's okay. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
