I usually check out the locations first to see if there are any from NH or Ohio and then I like to pm them.

Good point. I don't know what is on mine but I'm going to jazz it up! I'm getting more comfortable on here and it's time for an update. Thanks.

I look at profiles sometimes, especially if I see a lot of posts by someone and feel a kinship for whatever reason, or she's in Texas, and I'm wondering if we could be neighbors. I can understand that some people prefer to remain more private, however. We have all seen scary stories about people making contact through the Internet for nefarious reasons. If someone posts regularly and seems to have a genuine interest in quilting, that goes a long way toward assuring me that he or she is trustworthy. This site is remarkably well moderated and free of trolls and unpleasant people. I love the way threads are organized and that there is no requirement that we stay exclusively on the topic of quilting. After all, if you were meeting people live in your community to talk about quilts, you'd also get to know them in other ways. You'd ask about their families, etc., and you'd find out what else you might have in common with them. QB is a wonderful community because it's much like that.

I do enjoy reading profiles and seeing avatars. Today I checked out the makers of blocks I got from a swap. But SewBizGirl is so right. Anyone could make up a profile to get in, and could be the next BTK or Ted Bundy, looking for a "mark."

I usually look. I'm curious and like to see what others are about. :-)
