I'm just lazy. Or it was a low priority. And I hate writing bios. When I'm interviewed they have to drag a bio out of me. I have needed to update my bio on my biz page for years.

I just updated mine. I'm older, and the parakeet died.
Maybe that's why people don't bother with biographies much.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
I have also seen people post things that expressed strong opinions in "biographies" that were not helpful because they tended to polarize people.

regardless of moniker, real name, RR name, or whatever used, or biography posted/not posted....does it really matter if the content, as you say, is what is important?
It stems from the old idea that one should not post too much about oneself online, and an era when one chose a moniker instead of real name to do so. That one's online persona should be kept private, ANd for good reason.
Nowadays, with sites like Facebook or Living Social, people are REGRETTING what is/has been/ will be posted about them there or on any other social media!
Also, even without publicizing my personal info, and even with NOT being on facebook. I have had my : screen name, aol account, Credit Card, checking acccount, internet account, and all COMPROMISED. !!! {MORE THAN ONCE too!} So, I don't need to have a 50 page Biography out there as well to add to the personal information GLEANED from me used to steal my IDENTITY and MONEY!!!

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
I did and while it's information about me it's nothing that isn't already available to the public.

Probably because it's never a good idea to post too much personal information on the internet, especially in a more or less open forum type site, like this one.

Why don't/didn't you add a biography to your profile? When I see someone post to thread and they have given an interesting; or contentious, post, I would like to read more about that person. So, I click on their name and 90% of the time, the poster has added no further information!
I wonder why we're so secretive about who we are and what we've done?
