Wow, Don't I look like a dumb ass? After reading my last post, I certainly sound like a third grader. After reading your post, and finding words I'm going to have to look up, I would say you are closest to being a rocket scientist. Maybe, I'm a little sensative to being a short drunk in a helmit!! I truly do appologize for mistaking your post and lashing out at your post like a third grader. Hopefully, I didn't ruin this somewhat meaningfull thread. LOL Peace out

I think New Yorkers should wear name tags.
"Hello Bob."
"Howya doing Suzy?"
The city would be a much friendlier place if ONLY New Yorkers would wear name tags.

I can understand why some people would not want to post a picture or fill out a profile. It can be pretty harsh here sometimes. I enjoy reading them and looking at all the pictures. I still need to post my climbing pictures once I figure out how to shrink the file sizes. If I were going to climb with someone, I would want a basic idea of who they were before I agreed. However, I don't think it is absolutely necessary for posting.

It has nothing to do with 'here.' It has to do with 'there' ie the workplace.
People google people. They do.
There also includes indentity theft.
In today's internet it is a foolish thing to do. If there were real security it might be different. However there is NO security.
And insisting a 15 year old, or any minor for that matter, use their real identity in online public forums is just-plain-stupid.

As you can see, I don't use my real name but that does not mean I can't fill out my profile and upload some pictures. This eliminates the possibility of identity theft. I agree with the safety issue concern, especially for minors.

I almost never bother looking at a person's profile, sorry.

Don't worry about shrinking the size. The site does that automatically.

Displaying ANY personal info on the internet is just stupid. How about photos, home address, pin number, sheeesh! I don't want strangers googling me....creepy!
