One of the advantages of PGDC membership is the ability to share your thoughts, wisdom, and reactions by posting comments following news stories and articles, and by participating in discussion forums. If you have read member comments or discussions, you will notice the member's name accompanies his or her posting. When you click on a member's name, a box appears that contains the personal profile information that member has elected to make public. When the new PGDC was launched, in order to protect everyone's privacy, every member's personal profile information was set to the default setting of name only. However, you can elect to also display your email address, occupation information, other contact information, and even your personal biography in your public profile. This presents you with a great opportunity to let other members know more about you, and lets you contact and network with other PGDC members who have made their profiles public.  MORE »
