And everyone has there own personal limits about sharing info. It's okay. It's not like I'm asking for their S.S. # or credit history. Just the minimum would be so helpful. Most folks have done it without pain but the newbies seem to drop in, ask a question and then just sit back. That's all. Nothing too difficult. I'm almost sorry I brought up the subject.

Sycamore67 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think it is an interesting topic. I absolutely do not post my real birthday on any forum as it is a key piece of identity information. I am in the 60-80 age range.

Scrappile Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) You should be Ray!! I'm just kidding nothing wrong with asking, and nothing wrong with what amount of personal info a person wants to give, or not. Just got to warn you though, I gave my address to a couple of scrollers, Heppernerguy and Scrollingforsanity, and the both have showed up!! That is what can happen....! I am very glad they did, I have two great friends now to actually visit with... That is more friends I have ever had at one time.... actually more than I have ever had,,, period!!

OCtoolguy Posted December 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hmmmmmmm! I wonder how you go about "deleting" a topic. I can see that I have opened a can of worms here.

kmmcrafts Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Ray don't delete the topic.. I really think it's a great topic.. and many have left it blank.. maybe on purpose and maybe not.. I rarely fill out a profile to a forum.. when i'm a newbie just because I don't know if I'll stay on board or bail.. Many newbies maybe feel the same and then forget to go back to fill in the blanks.. as others have said..some just don't want the info out there.. But I see nothing wrong with general locations or even asking for others to fill out the profile.. Nothing wrong with a friendly reminder.. I think some of us was just having too much fun with your topic.. I apologize for my part of it.. OCtoolguy and Roberta Moreton 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 What I think is funny is a lot of folks won’t list their location in their profile but will mark their location on the members map. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not for MY use. It's for everybody's use. I just enjoy knowing who, where, age range, and saw type/brand. I don't care what you do/did for a living. I don't care about kids/grandkids.

I'm with you, in that I love to see where people are from. Living on such a small island myself I do enjoy looking at how scattered people on here are and think that it's great to see how far and wide the 'scrolling community' is spread. kmmcrafts, OCtoolguy and John B 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I think I have all of that info, and I agree with Brenda, Ray. It's neat to see where people come from. One example is when somebody posts a real pearler of a price for something, now if it's in the US, not a chance, Canadian $ maybe, Pounds another maybe, NZ $ a definite OCtoolguy and kmmcrafts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another sub-forum on here that somebody chimed in and asked a question. It was very much related to this topic. I couldn't give them an answer because of unknown location so I just glossed over it. No info, no answer. Simple as that.

Must be that tool salesman habit of specificity, "there is a right tool for the job" kind of thing I am dense I guess, short of someone asking to try your saw, or see the shop or something, I just can not see what location has to do with anything.

And I figure if you can get by my 120 pound dog who thinks stranger means alpo, come on down. ROFL I tend to shy away from having people come by mainly because of my dog.. he was 9 months when I got him and was rescued from the pound.. I like to rescue dogs rather than buying a dog because I hate to see a great dog get put down because nobody wants them.. Though in doing this.. sometimes you get a dog that has been abused and can be mean.. I don't need any law suite for my 200# grate dane because he licked the top of your head and messed up your hair, LOL.. He's really a nice / good dog.. but around certain people he's very mean and aggressive.. not sure if some people remind him of his past owners or what.. so I really don't trust anyone coming that I haven't warned them of or have already met them.. He can be quite the handful around strangers.. The bad part of him is.. he's plenty tall enough and actually knows how to open the door with his mouth.. so you can hardly keep him contained.. tall enough to jump my fence easily too.. soo.. Good thing I live in the boonies and nobody stops by.. those door to door sales people etc once they pull in the drive are putting their windows up because he's tall enough to stick his head in and give you a kiss if he likes you or... if not.. they tend to go through my yard and get the heck out of here..

Sycamore67 Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 I am not very interested in people's age or location. But, I really like people to put more information about their saw, blade, wood variety and thickness. It is tough when people discuss a problem about cutting but fail to provide enough details to have others really understand. kmmcrafts and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
