    People might do it to hide something from those they don't want to have access. Perhaps only friends have access? Are you their friend? This post was edited by O-uknow at March 20, 2017 4:54 PM MDT

  • No, not really but I was just curious why? I don't care if people read my discussions or answers and I don't think you care either. I just understand it.

  • I've noticed a couple here and both belonged tdo people who like sniping at others. Perhaps they think that protects them from identification but, as you pointed out, there's not much info in them anyway and what's there might be totally fictional. 

    Take my profile, for instance. I'm really a 25 year old spunk who made my first billion in a dot.com company and I drive a Ferrari. I had to borrow my grandfather's photograph to hold off the hordes of women who want to marry me.
