C'mon, updating your profile is so simple and completely anonymous!

Please help us all!

OK - rant over....any comments?

Quite right. And I think you should make it mandatory that everyone's avatar is a lifelike representation of the poster. I mean, mine looks just like me! :P

This is a big waste of time...and a lot of the offenders are repeat offenders!

I agree!!! Everyone should have a fully compliant avitar that tells their life story and complete model and year info!!

I don't know the answers to the questions...

Who am I, and what car do I drive?

Can anyone help me with this?

Well, it does help when someone posts, "Why doesn't the NAV software override work?" Or "Where can I find a good dealer to get my oil changed?" Or even "Where's the AUX jack?"

It takes all kinds. Some people will post a lot of information and then put up a picture of their Prius with the license place whited out.

I think that some people are afraid of the location info. I would think that most are less fearful of the car information. The location can be vague. Western Washington is vague. What we really need to know is the climate to help answer questions. Careful of some wording. Mid West has a different meaning on the Left coast than it does say in Ohio. BTW I grew up in the Mid West i.e. Ohio only to discover that I came from "back east" when I moved to the coast. Around here back east is everything to the east of the Mississippi. Mid West starts at the Mississippi but does not seem to include Wisconsin and Minnesota? West is like Utah, Colorado, Montana. South West included Texas and I grew up to understand that was part of the Old South. Fought against us in "The War of Northern Aggression" Had a good reputation as I understand it. Point is be as specific as you feel comfortable with but descriptive enough so we know what the weather and altitude are.

... and if you list your street and house number, you're way too comfortable.

I'm not a big fan of the profile. I think the poster should put as much information in the post as possible to assist other in asnwering. Not enough should just result in an unanswered question. I wouldn't waste the time to ask the poster to provide more info. If I asked for more, then I would feel obligated to monitor the thread for the response and then answer the question.

I am already irritated enough in my day job when someone tells me that there was an error on their computer but can't tell me what the error was and then expects me to help. I have to help there because that's where the paycheck comes from, but here I can just ignore it.

Well, then let me assist you:

Daronspicher
Republican (just had to throw that in )
2006
Package 5
Silver Pine Mica
Chicagoland (suburbs)

I got all of this just by doing a simple search...so c'mon if you were really concerned about not listing this information, you would not have provided it in the threads.

However, instead of having to search through threads to find this, it would have been easier just for you to have listed it (except for the Republican part...ha ha!)

Trevor, I totally agree! However, since I started the thread I was trying to be a little more diplomatic, especially for the Rookies who know no better. That's why I am asking Danny to help.

People do not have to be that specific about their location...even just a region helps.

Not everyone here is looking to help...some are just looking to learn...and nothing is wrong with that. I like to do both because I retain more when I teach something I just learned.

I'd update mine with the specs but last I looked location was mandatory and I would prefer not to include that.
[/b]

FourOhFour, just a few weeks ago you told us that you bought in New York and then registered in Connecticut!

So much for not including your location! See what I mean, we are all sharing this information anyways, so why not just list it.
