No, it is just silly. All it does is create havoc and repetition of "Where are you?" The quilt angel thing is a version of secret pal. Somehow, they expect other members to forget where they are, just because it is no longer displayed. Not making a lot of sense to me, but who knows?
It also sets a bad example for newbies who do not feel it is neccessary to fill out a profile so folks can get to know them.
