Sometimes I think “I’ve been here for nearly 15 years, surely you all know where I live by now!” but then I realise there are a bunch of regulars here where I can never recall where they’re from, or they’ve moved at some point to another country, and so then I try to mention my location where I think it’s relevant. My “Location” field is meant to be a clue, in that if you know the song (A Nick Cave/Kylie Minogue [song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDpnjE1LUvE) from 20 years ago) then you’d know I’m in Australia. But then again, if you don’t know it you’re pretty much buggered. I lived in New Zealand up until 1999, then moved to Melbourne a few months before joining the SDMB. I often speak for both countries, which may also be potentially confusing to accurately pin me down. ---

But then again, if you don’t know it you’re pretty much buggered. A person would only be buggered to the extent they refuse or are unable to do a Google search of the phrase in your location. Every hit listed makes it clear it is a lyric by Australian musicians. Easy as pie. 😃 ---

> [@Mathematics](#): > > I don’t know if I have my country listed. Too lazy to see. > > But what I do hate is when people say stuff like the following: 'In my country, we do x thing much differently than they do in the USA! Let me talk about how different it is for a few paragraphs without ever mentioning my country by name. I probably won’t put my country in my profile either so there’s no way of learning anything meaningful from this post. ’ > > Please just state your country. I don’t know why people do that shit. I do the opposite, and tend to mention my country (and/or city) in every post it’s relevant. I’m just waiting to be criticised for that in the snark forums as “that girl who always talks about Scotland”. It could be worse. I could be from Spain… ---

My user profile has my location. People always misinterpret it, though. They think I’m in Charlotte the city. I’m actually in Charlotte the person. ---

> [@Kolak\_of\_Twilo](#): > > And what a pity typing as few as 12 characters into the Google search box is so absurdly onerous. (It will auto fill for you at that point.) But again, not really relevant for most things I post. And if anyone is actually that curious about my location it is an absurdly easy thing to find out. Almost as easy as it is to look in _your_ profile and get a general idea of where you are. > > I agree knowing other posters locations is desirable at times. But, I don’t find it frustrating in the least to have to click a link or do a quick search to make sense of what someone lists under their location. I’ve typed such phrases into search engines on several occasions and actually found it tells me more about a poster and their interests than if they list something as straightforward as Planet Earth, Southeast Asia, PEI or Boise. I always liked your Username. :)🆒 ---
