Personally I would like to see everyone put location information into their profile, but I'm not sure what the best way to encourage/coerce people into doing it would be.

Well, he's in a foreign country to start withmikesbytes wrote:With the distances that Tuco's riding now, it won't be long before he's crossing state borders.
Taking the original question seriously - I can't say I like the idea of 'compulsory', but knowing where someone is from does make a difference to many replies. For example, I'm not going to suggest the Moo or Mike drop into a shop here in Adelaide to buy a tyre I've seen on special and there have been threads that I've stayed out of because the questions have been city specific. So yeah, those of you who haven't put in a location, please consider it.

True, and being Victorian born I love watching Brisbane and Queensland lose at any sport.europa wrote:Well, he's in a foreign country to start withmikesbytes wrote:With the distances that Tuco's riding now, it won't be long before he's crossing state borders.
About to click over to 3000 km tomorrow. 2000 km was only 44 days ago.
The problem with location is anything can be put in there. I've seen people put in things like "Were you least expect" or "Behind you".

As well as that, I try not to respond with questions like 'where is a good place to buy XXX' and then they don't have any indication of where they live.

Knowing a poster's broad location does help to judge just how to respond to some posts / requests, so I think that posting our location should be 'encouraged', rather than there be any attempt to make it mandatory.
