posting profile info

I put a photo of my rig and States and Provinces camped in in my signature so that when I asked questions the people replying would know what I drive and what kind of RVer I am.

I find that posters that say they have a XYZ1234 RV doesn't help me answer their questions since I have no idea what a XYZ1234 RV is, nor do I know if they are weekend campers or travelers.

If someone doesn't like my signature, well, tough.

I come on here to share information, and gain knowledge, and I treat it as my morning newspaper.
I could care less how many cats or dogs you have and what their names are, and I have never read any ones profile, or looked at what kind of RV they have.
If they want to post it that is their business.
If someone wants to know what kind of trailer I have, I'll gladly tell them.

In the past I have received a few nasty grams, and all I have done is just blocked them from sending me any more.
I like that feature.

You can click on the flamers name and select block this member. Then you don't have to deal with them. I've considered putting the user names of the ones I have blocked into my signature line.

You're welcome!

Crowe, you are so right and I like your thought process when you said, "Personally if someone wants to rag on me because of what I have, THEY have a problem, not me." Very well said. Thanks.

Re-read your original post-sorry, I thought you were talking about time.

Some display so that if a newbie has a question they can find someone who has the same set-up. Some don't display for reasons as stated above. Personally if someone wants to rag on me because of what I have, THEY have a problem, not me. There are some on here that just really need to get over themselves.

Readers Digest version: Personal choice for personal reasons.

SFLA2 - It does seem like a very useful thing each poster could do. ALot of folks doesn't like to publish to the world what they have I guess.. Others might be thinking this is a way of bragging about what someone has??? It really bugs me to see all of their so called personal info deleted or coded haha. Like where are you from - they will put USA maybe haha...

But it being a free country thing they can put down anything their lil ole heart desires I reckon.

Being retired I go down the lists alot just to keep up with what problems everyone is having. You sure have to do alot of guessing trying to determine what one is talking about sometimes.

I have always listed my basic items with all my posts. I'm sure it helps...

Each post is date and time stamped at the top. Not sure what else you are looking for.
