I am this way, also. I don't even have my state on mine because I haven't figured out how to do it. I'm spending way too much time looking at everything that is posted, and find it hard to find the time to just SEW. I love reading where everyone is from, so I guess one of these days I'll just DO IT.

I thought that maybe if I added town and state (after all unless you live in a town of 1 household) I figured there is allot of easier way like stalking to find me.Anyway if I added both who knows maybe I'll make a quilt friend!! Very least yall may be able to help. Usually I look at where a person is before I ask about a pattern.There was one that was posted called Spirals and was a tablerunner but I didn't notice she was in Canada.Later I found out it was a Canadian pattern so I didn't want to pay for postage (high) and how long it takes to get in the mail

You can search for members by location. Go into the Member List, go to Search Members (it's in blue to the right of the page numbers), you'll see Advanced Search below the box that pops up, click it, then scan down to the box that says Location and type in your location. A bunch of people should pop up.

I see no problem in posting my town and state--so far in all the posts I've read no one else is from Alaska and if I'm on a group and someone asks about that it is because they are traveling here and want to know about fabric shops in this small area.

This board, and every little shred of information posted on it, is completely open to anyone in the world with internet access...no membership required. You may feel like you are just 'talking to friends' or that 'no one here would do me harm', but that's just not realistic in today's world.
My sense of safety and privacy, however imaginary that may be, trumps your sense of curiosity as to my whereabouts. If I need help with something that needs regional knowledge, as in your LQS or machine examples, there are plenty of resources available, both IRL and via a web search, without revealing any personal information whatsoever.
It is one thing to mention your location in a post from time to time, it is another to wear a sign with your address on it which is what the profile info does.
