i think that when new members join us they think that's a viable choice but then we don't get to know them. it would be nice to know where everyone is. there was a thread not too long ago called something like where are we from or something like that. admin put up a map of the world (i think it was he) and marked where people were from.
it was very nice to see right up front where in all the world we were. and surprising. now it feels as though no one wants to share that part of themselves. they'll tell you that they got a divorce, that their unmarried child had a baby, that they're very ill, but not what state they live in? duh!
