To what should we attribute the goofiness of your suggestion?
A bad hair day? Indigestion? Reached the limits of your veneer of tolerance?

They're rubbish. They look like they're going to wade in and drown themselves.Ah, you're in Formby I see. How are those iron men on the beach?
Someone posted "You'd love it over here..." and it occurred to me that no one would know where that user was talking about. I am aware that the info is available via the profile but so is the date we joined and our post count, yet they're shown with each post even though they don't matter.To what should we attribute the goofiness of your suggestion?

It would also come in handy in the RC forum, for reasons I mentioned in the first post.

Okay, I think I get what you're saying--show the user's location as is set on their profile beside their post. That would be convenient. I wouldn't like it if they forced you to post your location, though.

Does it really matter where we are from? We all have one thing in common in that we are all fans of motor sport.
It does not, but this info is much more interesting than "Member Posts: 1,173 Joined: October 03".

Entertaining maybe. Knowing that guy you are talking to is from some exotic country you never been and never will be.

I can understand that somewhat, however, when discussing motor sport I think it is irrelevant where a member is from.Entertaining maybe. Knowing that guy you are talking to is from some exotic country you never been and never will be.

But don't want the forum to tell the world where I am, there is a reason I do not do social medias (unless Atlas is a social media, then I do do them).

I did not mean using geolocation information. Just what you wrote in your profile info.
PS. Looking at the ForeverF1's profile I understand why it's a no-go idea

Learn something of the people you debate against as well as with, treat them with some respect, and perhaps their location or first language will become irrelevant.

should I put it down to the language barrier, or a native English speaker who happens to be stupid.
In a nutshell ...... this is why not.

Although you should edit your post, given that They're actually inclined to do so.
You know, as in the Proverb for Paranoids: "You hide, They seek."
