I certainly understand people's concerns about privacy (having recently been a victim)...
So I/we don't need a city, state, province, territory, etc.
But knowing the country is priceless when it comes to answering questions, asking questions, or saying things that may be well known in one country but not another.

And sure, I understand there may even be concern about country with respect to cultural differences...but I think this forum is very inclusive and more importantly, would shut down anyone that disrespects another member's country in any way.

Further, it's quite clear from a person's posts where they (probably) are. It's hard to hide behind language, colloquialisms, references, current affairs, other interests (like gardening) etc. So it just makes it easier for everyone.

That said...if someone still doesn't want to help us know what part of the world they are in...that's okay too.

Well I'd be happy for people to drop in for a chat if they're in the area, but it will depend how they're travelling - one does not simply walk into Mordor...

Well, I share the same security concerns, but have changed things a little bit.
