T-B-N PROFILE ~~~ Importance of LOCATION

[/pine]

Who's the cartoon character? :laughing:

Geeze...Talk about someone that needs things explained to them...LMAO...

Here's a clue...On Internet forums a "signature" is NOT a profile...doh!
Users often put quotations in their signature to relate a character trait or a general philosophy they relate to...it is NOT assuming the identity of the quoted...DOH!

It all has relevance to tractors.

No it doesn't.

I got rain and snow, floods and blizzards and ice storms. I got tornadoes, earthquakes and tropical cyclones. I've had temperatures 10 or more below 0 and over 100. I'd had all of that in a single year.

All that's missing are locusts and nuclear meltdown


Even if you post your location I wont go visit …..I swear

 

[Diggin It]

Yes to Nuclear, both in production and as a target for the other guys.

Locusts? Lots of Locust trees, lots of cicadas that sound like locusts. And Termites. I may have more Termites on my property than there are people in the US.

I get tired of seeing the self imposed location police post, but can anyone give a good reason for not at least giving a state?

Very valid question. Let's see if you get any valid response.

Simple...Many people realize that not volunteering anything they do not have to is the best policy...it's not being paranoid it's simply a basic philosophy...

When it comes to the Internet that philosophy is even more prudent...

BTW...Again, being aware is not being paranoid...there are data mining algorithms running on the Internet that can relate anything to anything...even the most insignificant piece of information can become significant with enough compiled personal data...

No just trying to educate the ignorant...

I traveled thirty states in the wine business for thirty years. Visited most other states incidentally except the northern tier in the east. There are few cities of 50,000 or more population where I have not sold wine account to account or surveyed stores as the guest of a distributor sales person.

Plenty of time to discuss the local economy and look over the area during visits. I will ever remember the day a sales person arranged a formal tasting for two of sixteen brands of Lebanon Bologna in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Funny and tasty.

I have actually done excavation in most states and still don稚 see the need to know where people are. They can simply give you a description of thier conditions.
If you have such a problem with not knowing someone痴 location you could simply not reply to thier post if they don稚 give a location.

I have a web world. I have a real world. Never the twain shall meet. Other than banking and commercial shopping sites, NO ONE in either world knows anything about me in the other. I do not use my name or location on the web anywhere that it isn't required. That includes FB. I've never even been to that site. I have a real world neighbor that goes there and they found something they knew I wanted. They told me about it by phones and I contacted the seller, another neighbor to buy the item.

My tractor dealer knows about this site, but they do not know my ID here. If they post here, I don't know theirs either.
