Leif Holmberg Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Where are you located? Always the same question?time after time on all the AACA forum pages Just wonder how hard it`s to put the State-County-Country on the left side below the !"member" and "post". Can anyone tell why it`s so important not to be recognized where they live! We are all here to get help or give help ! OR? Merry Cristmas and a Happy New 2018. Wishes from Leif in Sweden. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Merry Christmas, Leif! Wishing you well. I agree with"where do you live?" Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Leif, I couldn't agree more, especially when something is listed for sale. Many thanks for all you do on this forum. Your help with documents and technical know how is invaluable to all here. Merry Christmas! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Wiegand Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I will second and third, and so on, everything that Mark just said. And the other thing that doesn't smell quite right on the forums is someone hiding behind a moniker and refusing to post their real name. If someone wants credibility, then they need to post their name so that folks know who they are dealing with. Check my name and state below.

Morgan Wright Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 If you go to "account settings" after you click you own name, there is a list "other settings" and click there for "edit profile" then fill in your location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimy Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) About monikers vs. full names: I joined this forum 17 years ago this month, and at that time (even more than now that this forum has fleshed out and many are "known" to us) I didn't know who/what I was joining. I also have a unique surname and my address is easy to find online via data-mining companies if you know my surname. I'm fortunate to have been able to acquire a number of vehicles with enough worth that I don't want to have my facilities visited by forum lurkers while I'm gone for two weeks on a tour or other vacation--or to have someone who has read these forums knock on my door unannounced and ask to see or buy one of my cars. Further, in my day job many years ago I put a few people in jail, and I don't care to meet them again. So despite suitable alarms and protective neighbors, I don't want to provide enough information for my address to be further compromised--data-mining info available is bad enough--Google yourself and see what's available for free, even more for $10 or less. When I send a PM I almost always provide my full name and, often, my address. You should be able to see my general location (San Francisco Bay Area) under my (blank) avatar. And I won't be shamed into providing further information for full public disclosure.

Daves1940Buick56S Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 No shaming here. It's completely up to you, and we recognize that some may want to stay more anonymous for reasons like you stated. For myself, no one is going to get rich off my collection. Heck, there were some times when I wouldn't have minded a disappearance! So in my particular case posting my location may be helpful to me or others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Roth Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I've always had my real name and generic location posted, but his concern about FORUM lurkers may be real , not per "Us Regular Folk"' but the possibility of unknown ne'er-do-wells who might present untoward thoughts and actions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daves1940Buick56S Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 God Jul, Leif! And I really love your first image. Should be in a Buick calendar. Has your car had the windshield chopped (lowered)? Maybe it's the angle but is has a nice racy look. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian_Heil Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 God Jul! Gott nytt år! (how did I do?) I'm always amazed at Leif's knowledge down to the smallest detail or part number yet he is 1/3 of the world away and here I am 18 miles south of Flint and know 1/1,000,000 of what he does! Thank you for all your assistance Leif! Congratulations on your 1927-24! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha -- now you're giving a big hint! I go by my own name here, but I completely understand your position. And I noticed your list of cars when I joined this forum and thought, "Hmm -- maybe I should look old Grimy up." And I still might take you up on your invitation!
