Pet Peeve

What?

What what?

I don't know. The more I hear about identity theft, information mining, etc., the less inclined I am to freely give information about myself.

I don't see where the type profile questions asked here on TBN are the same type questions that lead to identity theft.

My pet peeve is that I can't please everyone. Hey, should your TBN name be "Greenmountain Farmer" instead of "Framer"?

Podunk

That's what "they" want you to think.

That's what "they" want you to think.

Or so the Germans would want you to believe.

I don't believe anything.

Some of us don't do much picture taking and then have no idea how to post if we did. So doubt you will ever see picture of my equipment. Really wish I had picture history of some things but don't. It seems you should post at least the state you are in and if a small one like Texas maybe a little more. I did pull some of my info off due to the concern of theft. As you discuss your equipment and security and then happen to mention you will be at so and so place or picking up equipment or what ever, you just have no idea who is trolling any web site.

My pet peeve about fourms is members that do not fill out their profiles. It is nice to know where people are from when reading differnt posts. At least tell us what state and part of the state if you are afraid of telling which town you live in.

Tom in Vermont

ps check my profile and see it is St Albans Vt

You have hit my hot button wih this topic! Many times what I will do is welcom them to TBN and suggest that if they fill in thier profile with where they are from it will show up when they post. I remind them how much they enjoy reading posts and seeing wehre the people are from. If theya re concerned about privacy they can give a more general description but it is so nice for our members to do this. This jsut really drives me crazy! Plu on top of it new members will sometimes ask specific questions that can't be answered until we know generally where they are from.

i get tired of doing this post so I let it go but every once in a while I'll pick it back up again. What is also annoying is when they post, "can you help me with this and that" I'll post and ask them to fill in thier profile, and they totally ignore it and jsut keep on asking for help! My husband always says that there are two kinds of people in this world, givers and takers.

When you enter a new group and start asking people to stop what they are doing and take the time to think about your request and then to type up answers for you, it just seems to me that you at least should put down where you are from. I even asked Hakim and Muhammed tp change the website so that you cna't register until you at least put something in showing where you are from. It is at least half the fun of reading in TBN, knowing were people are generally from. I wish Hakim and Muhammed would institute this requirement.
