Perhaps the thread has taken a more positive twist but given that Cliton and Amos appear to want to trivialise matters, one could observe the following with Mudcat:

Within the Membership section, optional fields include Address and Phone number.

Within Mudcat, there is also Profile (the old name for it) section which draws data from a different source.

Why is there need for both systems?...

There is no sinister data collection at Mudcat in case anyone thinks I'm implying otherwise. I just wish people would think...
