"Could actually" and "is" are very different things and it would be impossible to identify a single person based solely on such qualifiers as you mention. The person would at minimum have to disclose some sort of location in order to be identifiable with any amount of confidence. The world is a big place. Why would I assume a Hubski user is the person sitting next to me just because they have some similar characteristics? Hubski is a small place and its members come from all over. It's generally foolish to assume most people on Hubski are anywhere near you/each other

    It's very easy to figure out that someone who watches Homeland, Supernatural, and Modern Family who also listens to Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, and also believes in and speaks out for gay rights, could actually be the person sitting right next to them,
