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!!!!!! :>))
