I've pretty much always listed my rough details, when I moderated a usenet PSX group I was threatened by a pirate, he said he knew where I lived was going to "give me a kicking". Needless to say I remained un-kicked, years later the same guy apologised to me when we ran in to each other on a different forum. I've always been a big old lump but as I get on I do worry a little re all this, but then I think about the number of folks just stabbed for walking down the street, and then my partial details on an old Atari forum seem so unimportant.
But yeah, it's nice to know who is local, makes it feel more like a club, but I've got so many friends all over the world thanks to places like here, so it's all good.
