You know, there's nothing wrong with telling a city, or the closet nearby large city if you live in a smaller suburban area. This way, it gives general location, but not enough where anyone could do any damage or hunt you down.
As a former I/T Professional, this is a pretty safe item, especially when you're not using your real name anyway. (Never use your real, full name or correct birthday - use the first/last/15th day of the month for security reasons).
Just my thoughts on security...I like everyone to be safe :)
