I don't have my home state or general area listed because my preference is to be contacted by and to share that information with people I like and have a connection with first, whether that connection be via chat or through the forums themselves. I'm not really scared that if I say, "hey, subbie from Sheepshead, WY here!" that the entirelty of the internet will suddenly be scouring the dusty streets of the Western United States looking for a Wrangler clad version of my avatar; I simply go for personality over proximity.

As I become friends with folks, I have no trouble inviting them into my home or calling them to meet up for a drink as I blow through their respective locales. Frankly, I think a lil' subbie in the world is in more danger walking into a bar than she is here on the Forums, but I still go out.

Thus concludes my two cents.
