Some don’t reside in “states” so much as provinces.

And some of us live in counties or suburbs.

I’ve noticed that a lot of the posters seem to live in the state of Intoxication. 😉

I’m a bit puzzled about the purpose of this thread… If the question is, “can a database search be provided that allows picking out any listed ‘Location:’ from the profiles”, then it’s in the right forum here, and the answer is probably “no”. Searching all of the profiles would be hideously resource-intensive and slow down the board even more than it already is, and there’s also privacy considerations.

On the other hand, if the question here is “hey, everyone, where are you from?”, then it’s a poll-type question, and belongs in IMHO, and will shortly be moved by TubaDiva.
