Why don't people on this site include in their profile where they live?
On a site like this, knowing where somebody lives can be very helpful in my opinion. We get posts about the weather and about gardening and I'll read replies from people that, without knowing where they are, are useless.
For example, today there is a thread from a person on this site who is complaining about the weather. Hey, I have NO PROBLEM about somebody complaining about how hot it is. It is hot here TOO. Problem is, the person making the complaint doesn't list where she is! How am I supposed to ridicule her by saying that it's hotter here, neener neener, etc. if I don't know where she is? She might be in death valley for all I know and if I were to ridicule her improperly she could neener neener me back. Not cool.
fwiw, I'm being a hypocrite. My location currently just says 'Texas'. Whoopdeedo. Texas has all kinds of weather and all kinds of terrain. Saying Texas really isn't saying much. I'm going to go change mine right now. Would some of you who don't list your location please consider adding it too?
Thanks for putting up with this little rant from an annoying n00b.
