None Of Us Wanna Help YOU Smarty1101 "@*$@*!"

I do agree with Mr Smarty on this one.  No one, except the moderator, has any idea who an alias belongs to, to give up a lady's information just because a name, that you can't PM and can't see a review history, or perhaps even a posting history of, is not really doing much to protect any of the ladies.  

Sure, the information is out there if one cares to do the work to find it (but if it is someone with less than noble intentions..why make it easier for them?)...but for UTR ladies that isn't even all that possible...and for someone to then post those answers on a public board where anyone can read (this is especially important if the lady is UTR) can actually be doing a lady a dis-service...and if the query is from an alias the only way to reply is publicly as you can't PM an alias.

As for why he would reply if he didn't want to help...I don't know his motivation, but to my mind it is like a service announcement for others, a sort of "post a ISO with an alias and expect limited replies", which can also serve to remind others that would be inclined to share information with any and all that may ask, to think about it a bit before telling all he knows.

Some guys have an axe to grind with certain ladies, some guys have bad histories with ladies, some ladies have issues with one another...you never know who is behind that alias...you can't be certain who is nehind a username either...but it does give a bit more information.
