Moderator's Note:

One of the goals of our forum is to protect our members' privacy, security and identity. In order to accomplish this, we have a policy in place regarding the use of your personal email address, phone number and other personal information anywhere in your posts, including user name, avatar, and signature. We also encourage our members that, when registering, you do not disclose your exact location. Instead, we suggest that you use a general area such as a county, state, province or region rather than your town or city. This is an additional precaution to ensure your privacy.

Since the forum is part of the Internet, it is "open" for all to see. While the information in your profile is locked down and visible to members only, posts and any links within them, are visible and accessible to visitors. If you go to "Quick Links" (Blue bar at top of page) and click on "Who's On Line" at the bottom, you will readily see a list of members currently using the forum plus a large number of other "guests and visitors". Most of these guests are legitimate and are searching for information to be used in a data base somewhere else. Some, however, may be looking for personal information that they may use for illegitimate purposes.

Consequently, you might want to carefully consider taking part in this Google activity in which you would be revealing the town or city in which you live.

Thank you.
