If I am discussing a topic with someone, it is really helpful to know his background, what style he practices, with which sensei, which country, his age?(I think there are a lot of kids on this forum)...etc. Also I want to know if he ever practiced Aikido because some of the members do other MA or none at all.

I think this is quite relevant, because it helps direct the conversation in an instructive and useful way for every one.

After all this is an Aikido forum and such information is essential.

Well, at least this is my personal opinion.

Cheers,
Edward
