Frankly, I don't see a problem with it. We have no problem asking people what their favorite music is, or their favorite movie or favorite sport. Asking us where we live or what we drive isn't a whole lot different. It's not like you're asking for our driver's license numbers.

I say keep 'em comin'...
Thanks! I would ask more but it bothers some to do so. If I don't ask, it bothers noone. So why not just not ask at all, right?

Maybe because even more people have no problem with it whatsoever and actually enjoy engaging in the resulting conversations?

I don’t either, but sharing personal info on a website with no access controls makes it super easy for any bad actor to profile someone. For some folks here we have name, location, and a list of expensive toys. Would take a nefarious person about 2 mins to find a home address. Even easier with age, job type, and a photo of the cars parked out front.

Reasonable people can be either concerned about that or not. Just an observation.

Please stay on topic starting now you guys. Sorry if I caused any fear or worry. I will not be asking anymore of that personal stuff, so we can just end it there.

I call her Beulla.

It’s not comfortable, fast or pretty but it works and more importantly it’s paid for.

Edit: Apparently I caught Beulla in one of her moods were she insists on being up side down. She’s a bit cantankerous sometimes.

Don’t worry about it. If someone doesn’t want to participate in a thread nobody’s forcing them to.
