Midnite,
There are certain parts of folks' profiles that are mandatory to fill in, and others where they can expand as much (or as little!) as they want. For whatever reason, some folks choose one way or the other, or middle ground... the Site's policy is only that the mandatory fields be filled in.

So, although perhaps irritating to folks, it's up to the user how much they wish to disclose in their profile... You can always ask someone though Most people are more then happy to talk about themselves! hehe...

Thanks for the suggestion, keep the ideas coming, folks!

Regards,
delia
