Strange is the key word. MY take on it is this. You join up, you offer a bit of info on yourself, whether its real or not, no one cares.
Then when you start a thread like this, or post on someone elses thread, we like to see who the heck that masked man was, hence the views of your profile.Sometimes you PM them sometimes you dont.
When someone drops a PM on me, like you did a while back, if i dont reognize them, i see who they are before responding, even if they never respond to the response
