I always prefer to know where people are from, but if they don't want to say (for whatever reason), then I think we must respect this.

The only difficulty is when somebody asks a question like, "What's the best e-reader for me?" or, "Is this book available as an e-book?". Questions like these (and they must be two of the most asked questions on this site) can only really be answered by knowing the person's location (country at least).
