Why so coy?

....with your profiles?

A handful have full, entertaining details. The majority have the bare minimum. Do you disclose your gender? Not a bit of it --we all know where that leads! Yet, in your first or second post, you sign off as Lucretia, or Greg. As for country -well, s'obvious you'd be tracked down before you'd finished your first sonnet, right? Like in those ghost films where hubby goes off, leaving wifey trailing around a creaking house in her nighty? But then, out slips a spelling giveaway, or casual reference to Michigan.

Laziness? Prudence? Mighty inconvenient for those of us of the nose-poking persuasion. Explain!

Milo,

Fair go. After all, you, as author of your bo, might write 'Sex: Male' and I, as reader might think that meant you were a sky-scraper.....

The bond between writer and reader is fickle.at best. Alternatively I might put sex:female depending on which way the coin landed that day which would just confuse the reader.

What is it you'd like to know?

So it seems you were raised in ny during the roaring '20 s. Cool. Sorry about the great depression and all that.

Obviously we all want to know the same thing, todd:






What kind of beer is in that mug?

[billy]

Dayum, I look good for 100.

Actually, you're a little off, my portrait was done by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1910, if I remember correctly. Time's a slippery sucker.

[Todd]

I appreciate your bio Ella. It's very well done.

I have no idea where to start with mine (which is usually why it remains stillborn).

Thanks, Todd, glad you enjoyed it, but remember, it's a forum profile. It's not carved in stone, that delete button is always available. I could be born somewhere else tomorrow.

Go for it, Abu is bored with our poems and needs a new outlet.

[ChristopherSea]

I'm not shy. My Bio is complete. Should I elaborate further?

[Todd]

Okay, I gave it a shot. I doubt it tells you much more than you may have guessed at anyway reading the weird crap I post.

made me smile.

[milo]

There are already bios on all the mods in the meet the staff thread.

[Charlesjoseph]

Ok I'm In,
Here is my mug and two cents

[Todd]

Good point, here's yours for instance:

Does Milo write this bio in the third person? Milo does enjoy writing about himself in the third person. Excuse milo, he is off to eat more butterflies.

What does a Monarch butterfly taste like?
