Often when I see an interesting post I wonder if it's by someone I know, or if not what their profile looks like. What part of the country are they from, how old are they, what are their interests in shooting. If their email address is there, it is possible to sent them an emailed message knowing that many people never check their PM mailbox. It would just be more interesting sometimes to have an idea of who is writing that post.
Most profiles won't tell you any of these things and some informations is wrong. For instance when I recently went to update my profile I found that I was 83. Although that would be nice it would require a time machine to achieve.
If you are reluctant to fill out the minimum personal details the profile asks for because of privacy concerns, it seem to me you could relax. That ship has sailed a long time ago. Google already know whether you are wearing boxers or briefs and other things you probable don't know about yourself.
Many CBA members are listed as a standard member. Please give yourself credit for being a financial support of this forum by updating your profile.
It only takes a minute. Go to "My Tools" in the upper right and click on Edit profile in the dropdown menu.
Thanks,
