Fellow Titan Owners.

What do I know about you other than the fact you are a Titan owner or just a fan of the Titan?

Are you a butcher, a baker or a candlestick maker? Are you an old lady who lives in a shoe? Is that shoe in Seattle or Key West?

I admit that was somewhat childish, but it highlights an important part of society.

If this were a FTF group, then we would all know if Joe over there was a "suit" or "plumber" or a "truck driver" etc. These are important parts of group dynamics, just as age and sex and where you're from are.

When we talk, all these facts fill in our picture of what a person is saying; where they are "coming from" so to speak. If we all lived in the same neighborhood and met every morning for coffee at the diner, then when Tom, who we all know is a dairyman, started talking about milk shortages, we would all know this is gospel, because that is what Tom does. It adds confirmation or substance to what he says on that topic.

So, all this is a request to everyone to update your profile here on TTz. We don't want to know what street you live on, but it would be nice to have a city and state. We're not asking details of your life, but it would be nice to know if you are a butcher, a baker or a mechanic or plumber or rocket scientist. It helps everyone to under stand you and what you say.

If you have hobbies, those are nice to know. I'm a reader. Last year was a bad year for me and I only read 85 or 86 books. I had a lot going on and my mind just wasn't in to it. Since my teenage years I've read nearly a 100 books a year. Yes I'm an avid reader.

So if you've got questions on books (at least the type I read) you know who you might ask. Or travel or motorcycles or photography, whatever the topic there is likely to be someone on this forum who can speak to it.

I tried to get a section on "Who do I ask...?" up and running. It needed more participants; but, the idea was there.

So please take the time to share a little of yourselves via the User Profile. It will help your friends here to color in the image they have of you in their minds.

And you can be sure that Squid who is not going commercial has no intention of mis-using your info. Besides, unless you are in the witness protection program, what danger to you in knowing that Red Alert lives in Silverdale, Washington and likes to read?
