You're correct John... we don't want detailed information
such as address,
phones, birthdates etc....
It is up to each individual as to how much or how little (which includes
nothing) information you want in your bio.
While I wouldn't put an address in mine, I would put general locality, in
that
I
live in the Dallas area, or North Central Texas.... If someone wants
my
detailed
info they can get it fairly easily as Carol showed us!!
But I will give more information if any of you want to send me a check or
some
other valuables!!!!!! :>))
