It reminds me of the joke about the Pommie at standing at the immigration desk at Sydney Airport...

The immigration officer asks the Pom if he has a criminal record.

The Pom replies "I didn't realise that I still needed one!"

(Am I repeating myself)?

Where am I? Lately, I've been asking that of myself a lot.
I do know I pay taxes on a lot in McAlester, oklahoma, USA. Easy to find, 90 miles from Tulsa, 90 miles from the Texas/Okla border, 90 miles from Fort Smith. About eight blocks from City Hall. Look for the junk in the yard. Old 'ringer washing machine' for mixing epoxy, large section of vinyl siding off of house from needing sheets of plastic, two large 'Akita's next door (my buddies!), old pickup truck needing work in the drive way. Typical 'redneck' well appointed residence. If I'm not at work I'm usually sitting on the front porch (building area). You'll know me by the 'FBI' cap (Female Body Inspector, so I'm told, still waiting, hasn't worked yet). Visits by appointment only! Tour tickets are sold down at "Rosie's" bar, ask for a window seat. 'Rosie's also sponsors Wednesday NIght wet 'T'-shirt contests (male and female), and semi-profesional nude pool games on Saturday nights (I got extra tickets!).

Another forum I moderate for has your location in the left hand pane of a post along with your avatar.

Maybe that could be added here?

flag-d · « **Reply #56 on:** January 08, 2007, 11:34:51 PM »

I'm down in Poole, Dorset, UK. Used to have a wonderful boating lake...until the Council drained it and it won't be filled again until late Summer apparently! I guess I'll have to try and find Setley Pond, I think that's my closest water (apart from the sea!)

Why are so many members reluctant to put the location where they live on their profiles?

Bob

PT Sideshow · « **Reply #60 on:** January 22, 2009, 11:45:22 AM »

Its that way on all of the forums, Just the country or state or area would be nice. As it make me smile when somebody on another forum requests a source of supply for something and doesn't give a clue as to where they are or if they are even on this planet! Then they don't put the location in when asked but do go into a rant when after a number of days nobody answers or no answers other than smart a$$ ones.

That is my second most favorite complaint about forums. The first is the people that don't read the thread and will list the same site or answer multiple times. Followed by my third which is the people that ask questions, but don't respond when somebody answers them. At least with " I read it!"

Which doesn't seem to happen on this forum as much.

I have been told they don't want somebody tracking them down and stealing everything they own

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #61 on:** January 22, 2009, 11:49:09 AM »

Great Lakes/Michigan?.... that far too far to go in one lunchtime, you're safe from me PT!!
( But what times are you usually away from the house... just in case? )

tigertiger · « **Reply #62 on:** January 22, 2009, 12:03:35 PM »

On another forum I belong to there is location information below the avatar saying, 'I am located in .....' . The location is the city/state entered into the registration page.

Could we do something similar?

It does give a better sense of who you are chatting to. And it is possible to fing others near you and exchange PMs.

An excellent idea. It gets my vote......We are voting arn't we???

shipmate60 · « **Reply #64 on:** January 22, 2009, 12:21:02 PM »

I only ask as I have my location and a few members in my location have brought their models round for some advice and assistance.
If you don't live far my usual answer is "bring it round" but I cant if no location added.
No not to rob you all blind, I have enough here now!!!

Capt Podge · « **Reply #65 on:** January 22, 2009, 12:40:13 PM »

Agree with you on this one Bob, if I'd still been living in Southsea (I'm ex-RN) you'd have a regular visitor coz my building skills are rather rough around the edges.
I'm relatively new to this hobby, only been at it about 12 years !

walktheplank · « **Reply #66 on:** January 22, 2009, 12:51:29 PM »

I think it would be good to see a “location” as many people want to sell/swap there boats they no longer want or to have a bit of cash for something else. You need to know a location if you are interested, as it could be local or in another country. Big boats can cost a lot for P&P and can be damaged on route, so pick up may only be possible, what is the point in replying to an ad, if you know that its to far to travel.
You don't have to put your number or street name, just a local town to you would do, and if you are in the UK, Europe, US. Could that do any real harm?? Sorry that's my ten pence worth. Sonic.

Colin Bishop · « **Reply #67 on:** January 22, 2009, 12:57:12 PM »

I have put my location down as SW Surrey, UK which is sufficient to give people an idea where to aim...

In my profile I give my Department name and number which also is the first two digits of a post code in France. A French Department is a bit like a UK county.

If anyone wants to add a location to their Profile it is very easy to make an amendment.
