I envision you as a military officer. Maybe Oliver North has something to do with that.

Guess I'm just not a fan of polls like this. What can I say, I don't do the city-data personal profile, either. If you want to guess my gender, age, race, weight, etc. that's ok by me because you're guessing. But I'm not the type to officially state my personal info in some sort of poll; polls are too easy for mischief makers to find. If some troll wants my info, at the very least he has to dig for it through my thousands of posts.

By the way, this kind of brings up a related topic--sometimes people share personal info about the other posters on this forum I'm talking about those posts where you I see people saying things about other members like "Suzy Q works at Bank of America" or "Suzy Q is 59, she can tell you about social security" or "Suzy Q lives in Penn Hills" etc. I'm not a fan of that sort of thing, either. That sort of information is for Suzy Q is share, and not for some third party to post--even if everyone already knows it. Just my two cents.
Well you couldn't vote anyway, because "groundhog" isn't an option.

Haha, well thanks. I think he's aged well. Sorry to say that I'm not a military officer, though.

Obviously, if everyone knows it, the person already posted it publicly here. I don't see the big deal with that. For example, if we know Copanut lives in McCandless because he constantly references it, I see nothing wrong with someone suggesting a poster contact Copanut with questions about McCandless.

I will admit, I was a bit disturbed when someone started referring to SCR by his first name in posts. I don't recall him ever posting his name publicly in threads, just via DMs. It really bothers me because the member continually refers to him that way.

Yeah, he has aged well. He was always a good looking man.

Since it has been implanted in my mind for years, you'll always be a military officer to me.

I try not to get involved in the angst of many of the Pittsburgh threads very often but I still throw in occasionally so I checked "Male".

While the person that harrasses SCR is obviously a sick unit, he puts way too much personal info out there, as far as I'm concerned. I don't recall how, but I did know his first name, and recently learned his last name as well. I've also seen him post elsewhere, by name, and as an avatar, use the same picture he has in his profile here.

You might have noticed that my earlier reply here didn't give away any more info than you'd already have guessed.

If you're talking about the Post-Gazette comments I log into their site via Facebook. As far as I know there are hundreds of millions of people on Facebook using their first and last names, and if they can post their opinions I should be able to as well.
