Where in the world do the Forumites live?

[QUOTE=Rick] ... as much as some crave to know the location of other members, there are those who may not wish to share their location for privacy reasons .[QUOTE]

I have to review my sense of privacy, for i crave to tell ( not necessarily share ) where i come from

Always remember that we are a forum that anyone can read without joining .

The 'Web' can be a very dicey place to play especially when you don't know who's watching .

I agree that there are "strange" people out there, but I doubt that anyone would be interested in searching---e.g the whole of the USA for a collector of anything.
However your point is taken. Maybe the location info could be included in the members personal profile which only members of this Forum have access to.

As I have said , that's each Member's prerogative to disclose but never a requisite here .
It's about privacy .

Forum rules and policies are what they are; end of that discussion .



Feel free to continue networking; I think it's a good thing myself .

Believe me, there have been some very creepy situations with members stalking and/or harrassing other members in real life over beefs developed here on the forum. As far as I know, no one has had their collection targetted as a result of info released here, but you never know.

Well, they call me also often "een belg".
I live near Maastricht and I was 2 weeks ago at the "Luikse Antique Markt" in Belgium.
It was just a 20 minutes drive.

Hi Mark,
This situation did not occur to me! I assumed, I guess that all those who are members here were "Honorable" people!

There's a big old nasty litigious world out there Stu .
Sometimes disagreements can bloom into plain ugliness and worse .

I've seen my share in the last decade .
