A couple times I have responded to requests for information about where to get some item, or a good repairer, when the person has not stated their rough location. I don't bother anymore. If somebody needs to protect their location so badly, I will respect their wish by not requesting their details to compose my reply accordingly.

What's so ironic is that their exact location and what they are doing is being tracked in multiple ways every minute and they don't even care about that, cell phone, vehicle onstar, every time they run a card, their computer id.

I don't think anybody is deliberately "concealing" where they are. Just for most things it doesn't make any difference. Today, I commented on a holster you made - according to your profile - in WY. I would have had the same comments on that holster if you made it in CO.. or OR... or anywhere else. I liked that holster, and didn't matter where it was made. When I order stuff, I give 'em the address where I want it shipped. Those not sending me stuff don't need the address. Also - to give me the web site for where I order Hermann Oak sides or machine bobbins doesn't require knowing what I'm having for lunch, who and how many I'm dating, or the underwear i'm wearing. None of it is national security... just not relevant to the question asked SOmebody wants to NOT answer a question, then don't - no need to even give me a reason why.

Members Bert51 Posted January 28, 2020 Members Report Posted January 28, 2020 I have been play with the internet before it was the internet and everyone was taken at face value, but now if you want a price on an item you have to give your name phone number, address, credit card number and the last time you used your bowels, just for a price. I still have a web site some where out there and I have turned off all non necessary functions on my phone and turn on my Navman when I need to use it. But I list my location here, okay you cannot pinpoint me, but if your coming for coffee, I'll give you my phone number as well, just in case you get lost. But if you do a name search on people who don't show location on forums like this, you can normally find the facebook page and learn more about them then you need to know. So I think JLSleather is spot on with his comments. Bert. Quote

I grew up when your address was in a little book called a phone book and anyone that knew your name could find it, no big deal really to me if folks know where I live. In my previous occupation Ive had some very bad people tell me they were going to "look me up" when they got out I've always responded with, names in the phone book but if you come over i'm gonna let my dog on you and if you hurt her then I'm gonna shoot ya and that sentiment applies to anyone I don't know coming to my home. but I understand completely when folks don't want to give that info out its personal and completely up to them IMO.
