Why don't people list their bike/bikes in their sig or profile?

Pretty interesting that the Classic and Vintage forum right here has a sticky with 67 pages of our members posting pics of themselves and their bikes.
I guess they are all braggards born in the Facebook era that are only a few minutes away from getting their bikes and indentity stolen...

Thanks for reading my post, and your comment. I think that when someone lists an oblique or obscure reference in their sig, it prompts more attention than the customary items of bikes and location.
I read @ jfowler's posts regularly, and have quoted and mentioned him in the past, so I was aware of his sig. I made no comment about the attitude expressed, but it was directed towards the question of the OP, “Why..?” I would consider the attitude expressed as curmudgeonly, or as they say on the Fifty-Plus Forum, “Get off my lawn.”
A few weeks ago I got a into a discussion about the lack of locations in a sig.
To illustrate, I quoted an especially nebulous Location by @Booger1
Any reason you felt the need to point out his misguided and slightly rebellious tendencies while he participates on an internet forum?
If he didn't want to post his bikes that's cool but why the need to reference caring about his or ours?
Quite juvenile in my amateur opinion

When I read a post, I virtually never look at the list of bikes. There are so many models, that I probably wouldn’t know the difference. If the bike is important to the content, it’s probably better described in the text of the message…

…Folks, please put your locations in your profiles. It's easy, fun, and profitable. OK, I lie; there's no profit in it….

Whenever I see a series of nested quotes, I think "it's Jim from 'Duh' again."
