MHO - I think that the location field is more useful when it does actually include the personā€™s real location. I wouldnā€™t bother pitting people who leave it blank or put in a joke, but my advice would be to put in a clue as to where you really are: it makes several types of threads easier to understand. Using it to make fun of Leaffan is a joke that will quickly get old. ---

[QUOTE=Leaffan] Too funny. All Iā€™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) ā€œlocationā€ field." You canā€™t ask or answer location-specific posts and expect us all to be mind readers. I donā€™t think this is too much to ask. [/QUOTE] This is more than reasonable. I prefer to keep my location vague, but include pertinent information in specific posts when asking about location-based issues (like driving direction recommendations). ---

Mine is more evocative of the environmental conditions from which I post, instead of a bland random city name that youā€™ve never been to. Plus, I enjoy the silly puns of other dopers, if only this board had more data fields to increase the pun potential. ---

[QUOTE=Leaffan] Look, just put your real location in the fucking field will ya? You think Iā€™m amused or impressed with your little joke location?
