Im mildly annoyed when people don't share their logbooks

You won't be so much annoyed as creeped out when someone "stalks" your logbook.
My 2 cents.

Ha, I can tell I'm not fully awake. I thought she was talking about the actual physical logbook.

If you do a Board search on this topic you will see many threads on why people choose to keep their logbook private. And also why some people choose not to log their finds online at all.

My two cents are obviously Miss Mess is a newbie - when I first started out, I didn't know all the nuances on this site, and I still don't! Why can't we all be a bit kinder to one another?

I agree! I've read a lot of snarkiness on this board lately, and it really kind of makes me sad. What good does it do to either you, or the other person, to be unpleasant to a faceless person on the computer? Would you act that way in real life? And if you do, well...that's a whole other issue. Like your mama said, "If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." I, in fact, told my oldest son this VERY THING in the car today. And it worked. For about 3 minutes. :P

"If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

May I refer to the last question you answered on your interview, and ask you to reconsider your answer?

My heart is where my home is (and that is Indiana for now),

PS - ignore my friends who will hit "funny" - it's more for my benefit than anything else.

Maybe i'm a little annoyed today but...
If you start off a post by saying
"Kind of annoying"
that just gets my annoyance factor up. Maybe the title of the post could have been something a little less annoying such as:
I don't understand why people have private online logbooks.

Just sayin'

No, I won't reconsider my answer. Perhaps you'd like to know why I felt that way? My feelings were based on a state of mind, rather than a state of physical space. Again...If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

I'm kind of confused by this whole thread... MissMess welcome to the mess of letterboxing... Sorry about the snarky remarks going back and forth.

I am going to ignore thread from henceforth.

Thank you for your post as it allowed me to use the "ignore thread" for the first time. Now, please understand it is not due to you - welcome to this crazy hobby that gets everyone's knickers in a pinch at times - but because I have plenty of tension from work - don't need it from my hobby too.

my two cents, a nickle, and some pocket fuzz.

My two cents: better to give the tools to educate oneself (as denise did with her specific references to the threads I was too lazy to find) than to rehash certain topics over and over.

Post a kinder response when you see a snarky one and don't feed the frenzy!

This reply actually made me laugh! Thanks for that.

and to the OP:

Everyone has their own reasons for things. Maybe they don't want you in what they feel is "their" business. It doesn't make complete sense to me why people do it, but it's an option, they're entitled and you just have to deal with it and move on. :)

That must make me an evil, perverted profile and logbook stalker. Right? I mean, I do look at everyone's profile to see who they are, where they are from, where they box, what kind of boxes they plant and search for.

What is the point of having it if no one is going to look at it?

Too easy.

Me too!

To keep track of boxes i have found. But more importantly, so that i don't go back to a box i've already found and didn't remember because i lived thru the 60's and have brain farts daily. That is why i use my AQ online logbook.
