When I joined I never happened to fill out a profile. As I got involved in the community here a few people asked to contact me - as I was posting personal blog posts anyway (and so the link was trivial to most) I added an email adress to my profile. It's resulted in a surprising number of amazing links with people I now count as friendly. Right now I am happy to keep a contact email in my profile because, as I see it, there is a lot of people on here that are amazingly interesting and if they happened (for whatever reason) want to contact me then I wouldn't wish to miss out.
