I would be happy if there are so many DPF scientists around, but I doubt it.
I’ve been seeing the same thing. A lot of profiles with just that one field filled in. But if all of the links other than to LPP were automatically no-followed, the word would eventually get around. It would also tighten our SEO up a lot.
