Still optional of course.
Can't count the number of times just in last month where their location is relevant to providing a solution.
One less question and response to be waited on before resolving problem.

All it takes is a question | Actually, it's my experience that if the person perceives a valid reason for the data, they're far more likely to enter it.

#14 | giving the country AND some computer specs - [as i've posted numerous times, and all of us] - either ON the personal page - or IN the post where one is asking for help - [can't say in the sig line anymore] - would be a FANTASTIC idea - but instead, y'all know what is posted: Quote: |
i 'puter prubs - halp - and do it quick because i have xxx to do!!!

and then, when you ask WHAT make and model:
don't need to say anymore, huhhh???  | | | Distinguished Member with 27,877 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: uk Experience: Chocoholic |
