It's like annoying blocked calls. People hiding behind a call when I'm going to know who it is anyway. Pet peeve of mine. All the people I know that have it, are kinda odd and somewhat paranoid to extremely paranoid people. Just my observation with people I know.

I think "dumbest thing I've ever heard" is a rather rash exaggeration don't you think?
Firstly I like my privacy. Secondly, I like to browse the threads without everybody else knowing what I'm reading or replying to, I don't feel the need to rush to reply either which I used to. Thirdly, the facility to do so is part of the user profile and it's my perogative. May I suggest you check out the different user settings on the site before asking such a banal question.
Interesting you quote paranoid friends and then go on to berate me. In my own personal space (which I am at home, the only place I access The Ledge) I come and go online and don't like to see my name pop up and disappear with regularity. In public, on the telephone and in my profession I am outgoing and a very approachable person. The trouble with the internet is you can never really gain a true perception of a person, especially on a public message board and therefore I never judge or attack other users personally, check out my 1000+ posts if you want. Also, since I was asked to come back to The Ledge I decided to use the hidden feature and hold onto what privacy I can..
* note. After pulling your jacket I noticed you are an actor right? So having paranoid friends might not be so unusual! Therefore I'll let you off with that one
