Default Where in the world....

Perhaps it's because I'm having a bad day BUT...

It really irritates me when posters don't even have their country of residence never mind the area. I usually have to become a bit of a detective reading into every word then assuming where they hale from.

What is the problem here - or am I missing something?

Maybe people don't want to give too much away seeing as this is a public forum?

If they are paranoid about identifying which city they live in, I think it would be helpful if they could at least put which country. I must admit there have been times I've wondered which place a poster is referring to.

It is a pain to change it every week, but just for you I have changed it to where I am now. See if I remember to change it back when I get home.
