    Just curious but as I was surfing a few threads I saw a common trend where many members are listing their country or origin but not the town they live in. Now when I see another member in Canada, I want to know if they are near me for obvious reasons. We all have our reasons for not revealing personal information especially these days where identity theft is all too common.

    I would like to know who you are and where you ride from your signature. It adds perspective to your posts in my opinion. So if you could take a moment, I would like to know you better.

    Feel free to let us know your concerns as well because I may rethink this given new info!

    Thanks!!

    I guess we can't make town of residence a required field in the sign up procedure...

    Do you hear voices too? Maybe the extraterrestrials are trying to call you to the mothership.

    Some people don't want everyone to know where they are.

    Some don't know where they are.

    Because it's just so embarrassing to list your location as, "mothers basement".

    Some people like to be Internet bad asses... if you don't know where they live you can't go smack the taste right out of their mouth.....

    or maybe they just ant to remain anonymous.....

    If they don't know what they ride or where they live, then they're probably beyond our ability to help them. :chaingun:

    I am not a freak, nor am I scared of the black helicopters and I dont live in my parent's basement. Over here on planet Bear, your earthling concerns do not trouble us. Go now and do not vex us further, the invasion plans proceed apace, and we have much work to do.

    That one quote concerning gas & feces leaves me cold. I do not need to know the authors location or hobbies. Is this the vfrworld or bodily function board!
