I wish more people would fill out their profiles.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by gkhouston (a host of the General Discussion forum).

A little bit of info about each other would make this place more personable. I think, maybe, culturally as liberals we're less inclined to talk about ourselves, lest it seem like bragging. But just a few snippits of info, mention a hometown, a job, and a hobby or two, would make it easier to think of each other as people rather than cyberbeings that we're conversing with.

I'm gonna go spruce up my DU3 profile now. If you click on it now it says I come from the Moon. That's not technically true.

I'm going to "spruce up" mine today. If I find a post interesting, I like to know a little bit about the person behind it.

I think most of us forgot that the profiles did not come over to DU3 so we need to fill them in.

I didn't know that they weren't transferred, and haven't fixed it yet. Too bad they couldn't be transferred.

specific location but the article does not say where. If the poster has his/her state in the profile that helps.
