Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

What impresses me is that no one would respond to a topic that listed questions like;
What is your first name?
Middle Initial?
Date of birth?
Town of residence?
State of residence?
No one would respond to that, right?
But with a little patience and a spreadsheet, ask small and innocent questions in ways that don't seem like you are really asking for personal information and... well, you know.
I'm not just quoting you because you're a ninja, but I will say that you're not the only one who noticed that. In fact I was thinking it whilst making this thread. I obviously didn't make the thread so that I can find out all of your details, I just made it because I found out something cool and wanted to share it, but yes, there are ways to get information out of people that aren't direct, and I this thread would be an example.
If I had suspected malice in your intent, I would have acted.
I don't typically and initially suspect that someone has bad intentions, and while these sort of questions are fun and can be interesting, people should also be aware that there is a dark side and understand that fun participation can be misused by others.
