Roger brought up an interesting point in the "For Sale"post, and I would ask why can we not have a location requirement in the profile of all contributors when they register,for the benefit of those who may wish to make contact for any reason?
Gee! When I posed the question re. Best Instrument this was the sort of response I expected, but I am absorbing all of the comments now, and I think the results are quite significant.

Hello Ray,

I have to say I wouldn't agree to putting personal details on this site or any other site for that matter. Far too much personal information is already freely available without MY PERMISSION and causes all sorts of problems not only on the net but with unwanted mountains of mail. No! I really don't think that's a good idea.

Anyway, this site is designed to cover the 'mysteries' of the Technics instruments which it is doing extremely well without getting too personal.

Just my opinion!

Audrey

Like AUDREY, it seems to me there is way more than enough personal formation about private citizens floating around the world via the internet. The amount of spam that comes to my e-dress daily is insane! I do not want anymore!

On this forum, those who wish to be contacted can post there e-dress, their website, etc.... in the profile or even should I want to provide my snail mail address I could do so here....

My vote is a resounding NO to additional personal information....

Hi girls,
I did not mean a personal address, just the Continent would be sufficient,with reference to Rogers comment re. sales posts on this site .
I agree with both of you regarding the privacy issue.My fault for not being clearer with my suggestion.
Ray
