Personally I almost never give out correct information on online forms. If there is a reason that someone needs to know I will tell them privately. Our personal information is a valuable commodity. Advertisers want to know so they can tailor adds to you. For eg the banners on top will always say the people are from your local ip. Hotmail will always have its ads targeted for where you say you are.

I also want to be the one who decides my comfort level as to how much is known about where I am. As someone who is currently dealing with a harassment/ stalker situation, I don't want or need someone to know where my home town is unless I want them too.

Kraven I think the best thing for you is to post a personal and if you are comfortable with including your general area where you live, do so. That way you can ask people to contact you who are close to you.
