Perhaps there should be minimum information that everyone is able to know about a poster! " Elite Trader - Error This member limits who may view their full profile. "
Some people give good trading tidbits. Others, don't, but they may still be an enjoyable read for whatever reason. There's no need to for anything further.
Maybe many posters don't want to give up their anonymity. Take it away and they will share much less information, or maybe even leave ET. In anonymity people tend to be more open because they feel more save. I gave more information about myself, but only to those that I choose. All the rest does not have to know more then I want to share.

The next question will be: is the given information correct? Anybody can write anything. Remember, this is internet. So next step will be an official document stating that the information is correct..... If not all information is worthless. Which leads to the question: why make it publiv then? I think all this hidden information is not relevant. So why make it public?. I checked: this one can be seen in recent activity. :eek:
Sometimes for a new name who got over hundred's Likes, people would be interested in whether her/his registration was yesterday or yesteryear. Something like that!
That is not waterproof. I am already on ET since 2004, but under different nicknames. So my registration as "i am nobody" which is dated november 2013, is not correct for me as a physical person. You can have like's because: you write interesting postings you are humoristic you are really stupid you attack somebody that most posters don't like ..... Number of like's say nothing specific.
I want to find the previous posts from a name I have never noticed/ seen before, who just gave a Like to a post of mine. Naturally I would click the name for this Like, but I can find only : " Elite Trader - Error This member limits who may view their full profile. " It appears the whole process of finding her/his recent posts to read is just too complicate. Perhaps it's only me!
