I was directed to an lj user's info page today that was about ten browser-screens long; it had photos and quotes and lyrics and drawings and policies and school info and art credits and every possible thing lj lets you display on it and then some. And it made me wonder (among, uh, other things) what it is people hope to find on info pages, and what people put on their own info page, and possibly why.

So, naturally, it's time for another poll!

ETA: *sigh* I forgot to include "interests", because I am a chowderhead.

I'm okay listing my interests on my info page, but want as little personal info as possible there.

I don't look at user info pages a lot, but when I do, it's usually because someone on my flist (*waves*) posted a link to something that made my brain explode. I guess I like to reassure myself that most of the people behaving like asshats are kids (translation: teens or early twenties), which is usually the case, but not always.

Well, I like to bring the splodey. :)

And yes, unfortunately checking info to assuage your fears about idiocy almost always does the opposite, I've found. (*sigh*)
