It's up to you. Do you want anyone who looks at your PS to know your sexuality? It's rather personal information and, while you may be happy to share it with anyone who comes in to m2m2 are you just as happy for anyone who happens to have a look at your PS to know outright?

I'm not to sure. On one hand I want to raise awarness of bisexuality. On the other hand it is pretty personal and I don't want want it to define me even online.

Well if you don't want it defining you then you're probably best leaving it off as there are many people who will use it to define who you are.
All I know about you is that you're bisexual and that you're probably a fan of Larry Niven stories and, to my mind the Larry Niven bit does more to describe you than your sexuality. However there are others out there who don't think like that.

If you've read my ps you should also know that I'm a Heinlein fan which does do allot of the defining.

You read any Harry Harrison? He wrote Make Room! Make Room! Which is a classic of science fiction. He also writes the Stainless Steel Rat books which are the finest comic sci-fi books I've ever read.

It was your username which told me you like Niven, not your PS.
So you like economics?
To quote Scott Adams, "Economics taught me two things, something about supply and demand and boredom won't kill you, though sometimes you might wish it would"

Oh, well Scott Adams was an Econ major, so he probably had a few more classes than you did, I dunno how the US degree program works.

Attucally it was a high school class but the AP test system means that most US and some foreing colleges will count it as a transfer credit or atleast let use it as a prerequisit for higher level econ classes.
