Board profiles

Since the issue of anonymous posts has surfaced again it dawned on me it might be a good idea to set up something like the permamnent B/S/T area for poster's bios. I'm not sure how functionality this site has, but it would be nice if it if they could be sorted alphabetical by board handle for ease of locating info.

There could be jsut basic info, your real name, general location, any contact info you wish to list and maybe a brief bio about what you collect. This would also help the newbies feel a little more comfortable since we wouldn't be total strangers to them. They could check out who all the people are posting on the board.

The other possiblity is someone setting up a site that would do this. I know that when I was very active collecting action figures, there was a site like this with bios of all the people that posted rec.toys.action-figure. It was a great way to get to know people and put a face to the poster if they provided a picture.

arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but
rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally
worn out, and loudly proclaiming --- WOW, What a ride!
