And come to think of it, the "vanity" you mention is evident only in those who HIDE their results for whatever reason. Jesus Christ, if you think you suck, and you probably do, don't run races under your own name, or at all.

Especially YOU, Bugless Dirk.

That's ridiculous. So people who have their facebook settings on private or people who don't use facebook and don't keep blogs are vain? People's names and info are their own business. If they want privacy, that's not a character flaw. What part of that is hard to understand?
Here's the deal, turdbrain.
People CHOOSE to create accounts on Facebook and other social media. CHOOSE.
Athlinks simply collects available race results and groups them by name. Runners do not CHOOSE for this to happen. So without runners CHOOSING to intervene by creating an Athlinks account, claiming those results that correspond to their own, and CHOOSING to hide them, those results can be seen by anyone doing a search on their name.
Apparently THIS is very hard for YOU to understand and it's time for you to keep that hockey helmet on full-time.
Sorry, I don't see the difference between creating a facebook account and making it private and creating an Athlinks account and making it private. If somebody wants to hide a race result, that's their own business and it doesn't mean they're vain. What part of that is hard for you to understand? Why is it anybody's business to know what Sue non-elite Runner's race result is? Why do you care so much?
There was a frequent poster on here, Blowing Rock Master. I was able to look up him and his wife just by him revealing in a post that he did a turkey trot the past week. Maybe people don't want to be looked up like that.

Selective narcissism.
Looks like she's making a dollar out of it from prize money and sponsors (which is more than I ever did). So as long as she's not doing anything dishonest (unlike some who've been outed here) then good luck to her.

I think you do understand it, but in your baleful scolding you refuse to acknowledge it. I like what the prof said: "Selective narcissism." Of course that describes Facebook and personal web pages too...
And if you helped get rid of Blowing Smoke Master, your stock just jumped around here.
