Why not list your location? Is it for safety and/or security? General apathy? None-of-your-business sentiment? Fear?
I don't believe anyone expects precise GPS coordinates. However, is revealing your country of residence too much to ask?
And this also applies to the moderators.

Good question.
Well, now you mention it...............what about your location? I would like to know what ' NJ' means. Where are you from, which country is that? I think the United States, but I honestly (cross my heart and all that) don't know.
I live in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
Having said that: I consider the ' location' as a question about my existence, metaphorically speaking that is.
I'm travelling and don't know where I end up. I am always slightly surprised at my role in life: a human being, a wife, a mother, a nurse, a scientist, collector of rare prints and books and sometimes a fool.
So you see: how can I not say ' travelling' ?
