Didn’t see the request for clarification. I think the ultimate purpose the map is to show where people currently ARE. When we see your screen name where do we imagine you sitting naked typing at a computer? So, unless you object strenuously I am going to move you to North Dakota (need somebody in the state anyway) and will happily move you around as necessary. Heck, if ChiefScott were out to see I was going to ask him to wear a transponder so that I could write a script that would automatically move his smiley about. Though, for ChiefScott we may need to use something other than a smiley. ---

This thread is getting pretty huge and unwieldy. I will start a new thread so this one can be locked/deleted or whatever so as not to take up too many resources. I will post the full text list by name and location tonight. Please use the new thread if you wish to be added to the map. Again, thanks to **obfus** for all his hard work and keeping up with this thing so well. ---

Great idea, **Demo**. I’ll lock this puppy up, and refer folks to your new thread, [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=63905). I’m sure one of the MPSIMS mods would have done it, but I appear to be the only one online right now, and anything that closes an 8 page thread is a good thing.
