A request

This is for those users who, for whatever reasons, do not list their location in their forum profile.

I can fully understand why people would not want to advertise their location. However, having such information can be helpful to other users of these forums, particularly in understanding time delays in responses. Other issues, such as voltages and radio standards, even language, etc. help add context to postings.

So, my request. If you do not wish to be specific about where you live, would you consider just listing your location as your country, or at least, just your time zone or variance from GMT and hemisphere (North or South).

What about people with signatures that show multiple time zones? :wink:

Didn’t you used to update it where you were at that particular period in time?
