A lot of folks choose to stay completely anonymous with respect to location here--that's their choice, of course...

Now, could most people put in "eastern US" or "western canada" or "UK"?? Sure thing, they could. I am not saying ANYONE should put in "I live on Kinky st, in the small town of kinksville, in western MD." NO... but what I am saying is that I understand what you're saying, Dom Issac, and yeah, people could put a geographic identifier w/o being too specific.

People choose not to say anything, and yeah, that's their choice. It's a public site, yes, so you need to take precautions... On the other hand, geographic identifiers are general enough no one is really going to be able to track you down (unless they have your IP & that's a discussion for another thread) to your house...

Just my two cents.
