What's with the paranoia?
Is it an insane, convoluted plan to thwart Bill Gates from knowing your location, but leaving the field "blank"? If Bill wanders down to FL (USA), he better pack a lunch, and bring a truck to carry-off my Commodore hardware. And that's after I unload a full magazine.

Examples of why to stop the paranoia.

(1) Selling - monitors are heavy. With locations, you determine average shipping weight before hand.
(2) Helping others - sometimes it's easier to help someone else via a phone call. Really don't mind it! But, senseless to offer a PM to help via phone, only to be told, hey guy, I am in the UK.

I apologize, but I'm very unclear as to what you are suggesting.  What paranoia?  What are you talking about?

Another suggestion... modify the forum software so we don't have to remember the username to use the dropdown to send a PM.  How about a button on the user's profile or under a message next to the reply button!?

As for the location... I didn't notice mine was blank.. I'll update it :)

I think he means to not list where we are from.

Paranoia indeed...

So you think that people not listing their locations is some kind of conspiracy to hide their locations from Bill Gates... and you're calling other people paranoid??? haha.

My guess is most people just dont consider it very important.

You mean like we already have? You just need to be logged in to see it.

@cv643d

FL=Florida State, USA.

I agree with the original poster, ppl should at least put their country down so others know. Can't remember how many times I've read posts where ppl ask questions that require a knowledge of location.
