Wouldn't It be Nice If ...

Every Member Listed His/Her Location!

It is very "annoying" to see a post saying something about: "the weather here," "drove up by the so-and-so today," and the reader hasn't a clue about what's going on where!!! ... then you look at "profile" and no info there either. This lack of a State and City is not good.

Plea to all the Mods and the Admin Staff: 'Send a message to the entire membership asking that this information be shown, and give reasons why this is a GOOD Idea!' This forum would be so much better for it! Don't know if making it mandatory would be the right way -- leave nonlist as open option, but PLEAD to add Location Info!

Thanks for listening,

Don

The members list is available to you as well, how about you send out 1,700PMs!?

While I agree it is great to see where our members are from, we are not going to request that they provide that information. Maybe a few hundred people will see this and decide it's a good idea.. I always seem to find myself asking those who don't have their location posted where they are from.. Sounds like a good idea to me!

Counterpoint is that many people don't want everyone in cyberspace to know where they live for a variety if good reasons. It should be voluntary.

How I do see your point for wanting to know where people are from that start those kind of threads, I don't really see it as anyone's business where the hell I'm from unless I choose to share it. It should be left as an option, or people may fib as to where they are from...

Also, I live in Alaska and have chains on my G37S's tires right now.
