Why do so many members fail to post their location? I mean, it's not exactly like a privacy issue.<br /><br />A lot of times, it find it interesting to compare the subject of a posting with the locale of the poster.<br /><br />Straighten up you laggards!!! :p

Well you never know with the big identity thefts going around or maybe they are ashamed of where they live!<br /><br />Bob

Most of the time they are just in a hurry to post their first question and fill-out the minimum requirements to become a member so they can. I think it was a few posts before I went back to fill in more of the blanks. Then you start including your boats, website, avatar ... it's an Evolutionary thing.<br /><br />But I definately get a kick out of seeing all the places people are. Every new place is a new pin in the map (I need a bigger map :) ). Communicating all over the world with the stroke of a key. Amazing stuff!<br /><br />So let me take this opportunity (if I may be so bold) to ask that we all go check our profiles and get 'em current. You'll find that handy little My Profile button right below Post New Topic toward the top of this page. :)

Re: Pet Peeve (one amonst several)

I used to use my real name as a display name. Last week my Dad told me his credit card company called him asking about some charges. He didn't make them. Got me really thinking. So I removed my real name from this site and others. Sad but necessary. As far as location, that does not worry me yet.
