This is just something I’ve noticed, that quite a few members leave their location and age blank. Now the age, I understand, although it makes it look as though the member is 14, and doesn’t want anyone to know how young he/she is, even though it may not be true, that is what it looks like… I still understand it. I may agree, but I understand… But for the location, I don’t understand the reluctancy to state where you live… any insights? Rev ![](http://aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

I hate when someone tries to be funny and put something dumb as their location. I’m proud of where I am, Albany, NY. Not ‘up your arse’. ---

I hope that everyone you meet in the future is not as judgemental on the jokes you think are original, but aren’t… We all think certain things are funny, when others don’t. Especially when you include those weird people from that island with the Queen, and her Randy Boys… just a thought is all… Rev ---

I’ve talked about my locale before. Just don’t see a need for online forum to know my birthdate, and where I live. A lot can be gained from your full name, birthdate, and where you live. If I end up giving it out; I do…if not…oh well. Just my view on it. I never leave any of that information on a board that I’m not administering. ---

all I have to do is go to your site pr… or look up your posts… so that isn’t really a valid reason… although you don’t need a valid reason… just an observation from an outsider looking in… Rev ![](http://aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

or they live on a secret planet somewhere far far away from here so they cant tell anyone where they live or they’ll be liquidised and then frozenized and then burnitized and then chucked into the giant core heater that heats the whole planet and keeps the strange race from being dedustirized into tiny microscopic particles and v-blown into the evil planet across the universe street where they will be eaten by the zamphorios race of extra crispy chilean monkey men. …um, what was the question again? ---

Rev, i guess that to most people, being here is like playing a character. You have a new identity, you talk to people you have never met, its a way to escape from your real life problems. What will be the difference of telling or not your real location? Although i prefer having my name as my id and my real location on my profile. ---

there is nothing wrong with not listing your location, or leaving it blank, or using something funny. I was just curious why there are so many empty locations is all. just a curious George I guess… Rev ![](http://aulman.com/rev.gif) ---
