You can politely or not politely ask. If you're going to politely ask personal information can I politely ask that you send me a message in future?
Anyway, I was being sarcastic about other people's posts. Sarcasm that was lost in this thread but once people start with their comments it's very hard to control yourself.
Similar to when people post in capitals, put discuss after their post or only start threads and don't comment on other people's just so their opinion gets heard.
