Well. When I tried to register they wanted my underwear size. TMI. JMO.
Your point makes some sense Stentor, perhaps an easy sign-up and request other meaningful data points later when trust is established between parties.
We ask for this data so each respective group receives appropriating messaging and can create actionable plans and compare notes with other groups. In general, we’re not looking for your average web surfer who looks to find places to vent. Those are a dime a dozen. We want thinkers that can have amicable, intelligent disputes/discussions and create actionable plans for America. Libertarian style sites like FR are the most distrustful of organized anything, even if it directly aids there cause. The feedback is valuable however and I thank you for honest input.
