Whats up with you peeps not....

....saying where you are from in your avatar?
Are you afraid someone will come knock on your door and want to sell you girl scout cookies? I mean really...? You live in some Po dunk small town I could understand. Big city...Who gives a rip!?
Not a rant, just wondering why some of you choose to hide where you are from.

it's not that.....Those girl scout mothers started hanging around all the time....Often dresses very skimpy. Continually wanted me to come over and figure out what the noise was under the bed - I I get in the shower and find why it drips.......All very distracting......Where's my pictures???????...

I used to have my podunk town listed, until I ran into some trouble with another member. My wife made me change it. If I had a fake name it would have been OK.

Living in a po dunk small town is much better than any big city, at least to me. Lots of advantages. Not the least of which is taxes and traffic. Anyway, not having an address posted makes me more cautious, for instance if buying parts etc. Example, when I was looking for another 911, having an address posted allowed me to screen out anything beyond a days drive. No address, no look. At least a state.

Waayyyyyyy back in the day he got all bent out of shape and started spewing threats at....Old_skul, I think. That was the day I realized a modicum of anonymity wasn't a bad thing.

There's no need to give the batschit crazy weird azzhole internet toughguy commandos any help. The last thing I need is some retard's death on my conscience because he was stupid enough to show up on my doorstep playing the badass.

Clayton has come a long way. Not so po dunk anymore, more like an extension of Raleigh. Btw, Hubby is from Smithfield.

Back to original question: Because there are so few women on here and because I list my town, I am commonly picked out at the PCA events. Makes it very easy to weed out the Porsche Owners who just have a Porsche and a person who will be able to actually talk about the cars.

Also, it's not news that there are some apparently unstable folks on here. Some get pretty twisted up over very little (it's the internet for god's sake) and will hand out threats. It's happened to me from folks with looney tunes numbers of posts. I think it's simultaneously funny and disturbing to be "smacked down" by guys who later post about health problems that clearly show the frailty of their health. Crazy train. Why give away where you live to folks like that?
