[QUOTE=Askance] But that’s no excuse for not even giving what country you’re in, and probably the state or province would be OK too (except Montana). [/QUOTE] It is when you work for the only company in the country in a certain field, and a small one to boot. ---

I thought mine was kind of clever. “No runs, no hits, no (errors).” But even if you don’t think it is, what’s it to ya? I try to bring a chuckle where I can, but you can’t amuse everybody and I don’t lose any sleep if some people are just irritated. Sometimes you don’t need to know where I am specifically other than in the U.S.A. If my location is pertinent to the thread, I’ll give it. If it isn’t, you don’t really need to know. Some of us like our privacy and it ought to be respected. If you don’t, then I don’t have the time of day for you. ---

Yeah but then we have posts like [this.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9343123&postcount=1) And answers like [this.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9343139&postcount=2) Brilliant. ☹ Why can’t \*\*drm \*\* at least provide some reference for location. This shit happens all the time on here. I’ve bitched before and will continue to when appropriate. People either pose questions with no location reference, or answer posts with no location reference, when a location reference is completely pertinent to the fucking question being asked or answered. What, **drm** (Location: Ontario) is going to bring fucking CSIS upon you? Fuck no. ---

Just take the square root of the absolute value of the numbers listed in my location, and you’ll easily find out exactly where I’m not. ---

My logic was this: you either know him or you don’t, what does it matter where he’s from specifically. I’m a private guy, it’s that simple. I don’t mind answering the question where I’m from, but I tend not to share it unless it matters. ---

[QUOTE=Zebra] What difference does it make where I am? [/QUOTE] Too funny. All I’m saying is that when posts are pertinent to location then either identify your location in your post, or IDEALLY have it already entered in the (jeez) “location” field."
