Public profile

Parent Cafe

<p>As a still junior member, I find myself wondering why almost no one fills out the public profile “additional info.” I often find myself wondering - or trying to recall - as I read a poster’s qx where they are from/how many kiddos/where kid has applied etc. It would be so helpful to click on poster’s name and see this info summarized. I know we have the Consolidating cc info thread, but this is difficult to stream through for the info. Anybody know why this isn’t done? Or should we all try? I’ll go there now and try to be first.</p>

<p>Well, I just found out the pitfalls of putting in the birth year - it means I have to look at my age every time I post. Think I’ll just go back and edit that out forthwith.</p>

<p>LOL.</p>

<p>As one of the more visible members on CC, I perversely wish to cling to some modicum of privacy.</p>

<p>Well TD, we may may not know WHO you are, but we certainly know WHAT you are-- your Bruin blue shows through!</p>

<p>I like to maintain my and my kids’ privacy while still being able to obtain info that is useful for S.</p>

<p>When I first came to C.C. there was a terrible thread where someone, a lurker or something, opened an email account just to send a really nasty email to one of the folks here. And he said something like’ I took out this email account just to send you this email and don’t bother to try to find me because I already closed it!’ It was a terrible thing and was posted so we all saw it and saw what was going on.No profile for me, guess, - and I sometimes post slightly different versions of the truth, like if I say one college it is actually another. Sorry folks - I’m trying to be careful.</p>

<p>OK, my bad.</p>

<p>I was just responding to my own memory flaws/ineptitude. So often, someone will post a qx/concern and other posters will chime in with “Yes, dearie, I remember that your S… and since you come from the … part of the country etc., etc…” Meanwhile, I can’t remember where I last put down my eyeglasses. </p>

<p>So, thought it would be a help. But guess not.</p>
