Why so shy?
Every now and then I start to wonder about things and today's one of those days.I've started to wonder why so many coaches - in my experience - have no info about themselves on their profile page. I'm not expecting full names, social security number and inside leg measurements, but many don't even give a clue as to where in the world they are.
I don't understand the harm in telling people where you live - even if it's just at a country level. It's be nice to see who I'm losing to, too. I don't think there's much chance of identity theft from info you give on fumbbl.com!
So, if you're one of those anonymous coaches can you please explain why?

Why should they explain themselves to you?
Respect the fact that not everyone may want to share personal information on here, no matter how trivial you think it is.

I know its sad isnt it, I feel a few more basic details would be nice about people.

Judging by Calcium's response I think they are all Calcium's alternative accounts :D

Yes everyone hide from the world!
As a matter of fact I got to thinking the same thing today, on a different note. You see, on my way home from work I stepped onto a bus, there were 4 ppl on the bus including myself. I said hello to the busdriver (in a hearty manner) who in turn just looked away, ignoring me. Whats happening with the world?

I was just asking if anyone could explain why, Calcium. I certainly didn't mean to suggest that anyone should feel obliged to. Goodness, no. Perish the thought.
I can see that it matters not a jot in [R] where, who or even what you are, but if you're playing in a league doesn't it make sense to give your scheduled opponents some sort of clue as to your timezone at least (if your country is too personal)?

Hmm, I have one of those '?' ... although my Profile is full enough for my liking.
Didn't realise it was such a big issue to some people.

Well there is few posibilities for that question of yours:
1. They are lazy
2. They are Microsoft Spies
3. They hate all humans
4. They don't know there is bio section

Good point here.
Why be part of a community if you are not gonna tell anyone anything about yourself?
Go play Wow or something if you wanna be anonymous...
I usually turn people down if their bios are empty, cause moste often, and this is empirically proven, they are mostly not fun in chat either...
And what is the point in playing if it is not fun?

"Go play WoW or something if you wanna be anonymous..."
Hehe...I played WoW for about a year and a half, and me and my guild mates were pretty open. First+last name, general area of residence...talking on Vent was like talking on the phone to a friend. There was no need for secrecy.
That being said...I've got the "?" and nothing on my coach bio. Why? All the other coach bios I've seen are filled with Fumbbl experiences and I'm new enough not to have any really memorable experiences.
