I’m baffled at why? What data will they really get? Is it useful, reliable? Seems very crude ! Surely there’s much more information within the usual posts; sometimes I’m amazed at how much personal information people divulge.

Those 'member names' (they are like computer-generated names) remind me of some unsolicited contacts that I got a decade ago promoting a variety of medical-related products in which I had no interest. I think I upgraded my security system and got rid of them.

If they want to know what the members are into, I can save 'em some trouble.

Nice cars, good booze, exotic vacations, primo eats

. . . . . . and oh yeah, watches.

I get ads about increasing the size of a certain body part, but they're targeting the wrong part.

My part is 6 3/8", and I wish it were just a little bigger. Of course you certainly know I'm referring to my wrist.

That’s big in certain cultures... I’m just saying

Creating profiles and post counts to act as "references" for future scam deals?
