....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?

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