why do you need my physical address to join - there is no way that should be of any need.
I never provided my address and it wasn't a problem.
Same here... I didn't give my physical addy either. And I'm here.
I gave a generalized address. just my street name with no number, put in "Upper Peninsula of Michigan" for the city and gave a fake zip code. I had to fill in those spaces in order to join, but it's nobody's business what my exact address is.

Really? I did not see this as a requirement to join, so I didn't have to give ANY kind of address, city, state, nothing. Not even Planet Earth.
Hmm... maybe I'm talking to myself again and I'm not REALLY here?
Yes, when I was filling out my profile last year and updating it just recently, I had to give my address. This was in the "Contact Info" section of my profile. I just tried it again and I got an error message that says a street address is required. I have a feeling I should not have said that I put a fake address down in my contact info!!!! Just wanted to be helpful.
Maybe I misunderstood the question?
Okay, so you are saying the request for your addy was in the profile portion? Maybe this is why I didn't have to give one, I haven't filled out the profile yet. (I wanted to lurk around for a bit first.) If so, then it makes sense.
My question now is, WHO has access to that information?
Good question. I wonder who has access to our info. That is exactly why I put in fake stuff. Here I go again, I hope no one in the higher-ups or administration reads this! No lurking Shimas! Come on in, the water's fine, Lurking has a creepy tone to it! It's a great place to be. It's very cathartic to post blogs and discussions. Hope to see you around. Put the fake stuff in bbattig!
Yeah, lurking does have a creepy sound to it, like "stalker" instead of people watcher. I've been trying to get a feel for the site, find a nitch so to speak. So far, I like the topics and the great discussions.
I think the higher ups would forgive you such a minor indescretion. At least I hope so!
I hope so too! Just start blogging. I found that to be very helpful, just to write down your feelings. Good luck to you! You too bbattig!
It feels good to "stick it to the man" eh? A little rebellion now and again is a good thing, I think.

Why not? They've been sticking it to us for years! (Not Disboom, but the rest of them... yes I am kissing rear end this early in the game...) Still, I would like to know who has access to the information.
I trust this site implicitly. I don't think any one in administration or whatever they are termed, would do anything with our information. It's some of the members I'm worried about gettig my info.
I didn't have to give it upon joining, just when updating my profile info. I also put "fake" info because it was required to complete the update. I just put things like "1 a" for street.
I wish they'd change that and not make it required. I can understand wanting to know age for legal purposes, and state/country for demographics, but beyond that, I don't see a reason to require it.
I just added "Center of the Universe" for address. Boston, MA and my office zip code.
It worked.
