I believe you have completely misapprehended the purpose of FR profiles.
The profile page might be to some a trophy room, but to most of us it is a place where we can let other FReepers know a bit about the people with whom they are interacting.
You, in fact, used it for just that purpose, reading my profile and making a judgment as to my subtlety along with a myriad of other factors that you took into account when you responded to my post.
By being purposely reserved (perhaps even cryptic) about yourself, you deny your conversants that same opportunity. To do so is to not fully become part of the FreeRepublic community.
If you want to share ideas with the FR community, the best place to do it is right here. This community functions a little differently from your blog. Freepers, at least those who are active and able, contribute to FR in many ways. First, of course, is by sharing ideas. We do that right here on the forums, out in the open. If you want to know what I think, for example, you don't have to go to a blog you know nothing about, run by someone you know nothing about. You can simply look at my posting history, and you will find items such as these:

In six years here, I have posted 23 threads and over 8,000 replies. Some of the replies are humorous asides, one liners and exercises in absurdity. Others are of the type I listed above. I've made a few good friends, a few enemies, made a few people think and a lot of people laugh.
The point is that I have become part of the community.
FReepers show their community in other ways as well. We pray for each other, we help each other think (and sometimes act) through our problems and we celebrate each other’s joys. We also give financial support to keep this forum “on the air” for ourselves and for those who have become part of our community, but who cannot afford to give. (Hint! - https://secure.freerepublic.com/donate/ )
In my quite non subtle way, the bottom line is, if you're here to join in and participate, then Welcome to FreeRepublic! Do us a favor and please post your articles in full, so we can all enjoy therm, right here in our living room. If you have any trouble with the HTML necessary for posting graphics and live video links, just ask. There are a lot of us who will be more than willing to take the time to show you how to use graphics to make your posts really stand out.
And now, “Tsuru no Tsugomori.”
