Guess it comes down to a personal preference.
Most of the time I really never notice the member's location.
Some folks do put a LOT of very personal stuff on here - and it is accessible to ANYONE, ANY WHERE, ANY TIME - that has an internet connection.
Just think of it as being on the front page of your local newspaper - if you wouldn't put it there, keep it off the internet.

When i first joined i didn't know about a "profile", thus no personal details and was listed as "in hiding" for lack of pertinent info.

I also worked full time until age 72. So if I have offened you or anyone else on the board by not listing my address I am so sorry. I am fron Prichard, West Virginia and proud of it.
When I was a newspaper reporter, I learned that many people are in hiding for a reason--crazy ex-husband, witness protection program, bill collectors, ad infinitum--and so did not take pictures or give their names in news stories.
If you are on the Internet anywhere, you can be tracked and if you have a cell phone you can be tracked. But, it requires effort to do it. If people I don't know want to find me, they'll have to put a little effort into it.
Hang loose. froggyintexas

For the most part, except for an occasional physical twinge I didn't have at 18, everything has been better and better since age 18! Glad to know there are some other golden oldies on the board. froggyintexas
