This time I totally agree with you. The trouble is, the forms that create the profile pages aren't terribly helpful. As for things like age and gender, you can only make those visible to public by revealing your address as well.
Most Profiles are blank or almost blank.
Even names are omitted when it is blatantly obvious that the email address gives the name. May I suggest that we update our Profiles to give a little information, without revealing vital statistics. A few interests and Religious convictions would also be interesting. All rights reserved.
