    And, BIFers and traders often send email, physical addy, and phone numbers to random strangers from the Internet. We're all gonna die!

    Was this always a thing? My memory starts with that crazy BIF(s) where all the participants had to change their user locations to "fake" places and their BA avatars to unicorns. I enjoy to see the farflung places to where some of us have moved.

    There is a lot more to a state than weather and scenery. The state government is a fetid cesspool that directly and daily impacts me.

    I think the real question is why don't you all just move to Australia and then change your location to here? Everyone will then have the same info, we'll all be equal in the eye of the law, and we can all laugh, dance and dodge the dropbears.

    Cheers

    We have no accent. It's you guys that sound funny...

    Anyway, I'm sure your Gilbertese accent reels them in!

    Cheers from Geelong, Australia. :grin:

    Will all have to change our name to Bruce?

    And say the ‘prayer’

    “This here's the wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand.”

    G’day!

    Why would someone choose a fake location? BTW, I'm not doubting it. If they're worried about anonymity, they could just not list one at all, as it's optional. Weird. Anyhow... much love!

    Shanex is my real name. As much as I’m French. You could say I didn’t do too bad managing to become a Mod on an American website which is vastly perused by an American crowd.

    Peace out!

    Everyone in eastern Washington & north Idaho hates California and Californians. Especially vocal about it are the folks who moved there from California 20-30yrs ago. The practice of hating on California is somewhere between a fetish and a full-on religious sect at this point around here. Me, I hate everyone, so I stand apart. :wink:

    So you’re just a good old fashioned misanthrope :laughing:. As far as myself, I’m just a SoCal bro - if you come with good vibes and good beer, you are welcome at my place anytime :wink:
