I agree that there are "strange" people out there, but I doubt that anyone would be interested in searching---e.g the whole of the USA for a collector of anything.
However your point is taken. Maybe the location info could be included in the members personal profile which only members of this Forum have access to.

As I have said , that's each Member's prerogative to disclose but never a requisite here .

It's about privacy .

Forum rules and policies are what they are; end of that discussion .

Feel free to continue networking; I think it's a good thing myself .

Believe me, there have been some very creepy situations with members stalking and/or harrassing other members in real life over beefs developed here on the forum.

As far as I know, no one has had their collection targetted as a result of info released here, but you never know.

I'm the only member from Belgium, I think

Small country with a lot of beer

Well, they call me also often "een belg".
I live near Maastricht and I was 2 weeks ago at the "Luikse Antique Markt" in Belgium.

It was just a 20 minutes drive.

I've been told there's more than a passing resemblance.

Hi Mark,
This situation did not occur to me! I assumed, I guess that all those who are members here were "Honorable" people!

There's a big old nasty litigious world out there Stu .

Sometimes disagreements can bloom into plain ugliness and worse .

I've seen my share in the last decade .
