Eric, good points.

I doubt that I am alone in reviewing profiles before I answer questions. As a practice I often don't supply answers to some questions because I see that the questioner has chosen not to share anything with us.

BTW,If you are a member of this site, and put in interests in fishing, pond management, etc. and the state you live in how much "confidential" information are you really exposing?

If I were a member who had nothing about myself in my profile I would wonder if I am not getting as good of an answer because someone like Bing sees my lack of data and decides not to answer, or provide as complete an answer as they would if they knew more about you.

Is any of this making sense?
