Why no details?

I've noticed that very few members put any details about themselves on their profiles. Is there any reason for such coyness?

No agenda here, I just find it curious as it might help understand where people are coming from and indeed we might be able to find a few more "experts"! :)

Perhaps its easier to be frank & give advice from personal experience with a greater sense of anonimity?

Giving too much personal info. could lead to others 'recognising' the individual or the offspring.

Most people do tend to explain their relevent background when giving advice/information but I guess there are others who the regulars know are eg. medics/teachers but which isn't obvious. Maybe they like to be able to post as 'ordinary' parents too :)
