    Am I STUPID ?

    So I find this nice fishin board where we all are supposed to share info about fishin and boatin, and I guess get to know one another, and meet new friends. But am I just STUPID ? for being basically the only person on the Ky board to say who I am and where I live, and a little about me. How are we supposed to become real friends if we don't know who we are. I know the Internet can be a "scary" place, but there is no information in the profile section that basically isn't common knowledge anyway. I dunno maybe I'm just stupid, but It's a little frustrating to me, not to know anything about the people you converse with on here. Does anyone else feel this way or am I the only STUPID one? !! (To post my Profile)

    Pheonix, the profile section is new to this board. I a lot of people probably have not gone to the User CP yet to check their information. Don't know if I have either. Will check it now.

    Phonix: I would have to agree with you for the most part you don't know you are talking to or where they are . they may be your neighbor down the road or in tim-buck-to.

    PS/ I don't thank you be stupid for your thoughts either!!!

    It sometines is amazing who who you are talking to. I have before talked to people to learn that they live or work one block away. I have also talked to relatives and did not know it and good friends of relatives.

    Wild!!

    Maybe this thread should be moved to KY board to get more viewership and action?

    Let me know.

    I think you'll find that there are a number of people on this board who do know each other. I've fished with a number of people who I met on the board. There have been various posts over the years sort of introducing people or telling more about yourself. The last two years there has also been a get together of people from the board. I'll make it one of these days!

    Thats OK by me, I just thought it should be on the Off Topic board to start with.

    Jim Dicken lives about a mile from my office. He came by one day. He went to high school about a mile from my house and knows a lot of people that I know. I had met his wife before as she was in the advertising business.

    You have to be careful. I was on many forums using the same Userid a few years ago. Another guy got nasty with somebody I had known a long time, and I came to his defense. The A-hole found me on several other boards and harassed me constantly. He got my email address and phone number too. Couldn't control himself and wound up with a visit from a local police officer because he made threats. I'm extra cautious now. I've seen people who seemed fine come unhinged over something trivial like a remark about their avatar and go off the deep end.
