Locating Jocks in your area

I’d settle for “Jocks in your Continent!”

I agree… I bet there are more of us here in Cleveland, Ohio… just dont know of any

I have always been hesitant to take a picture of my shop and then put my address into Google maps. It just seem like a good way of letting crooks know exactly where they can go to find a shop full of expensive tools. Maybe I’m just paranoid.

It would be nice if your city or state were listed under your forum posts. It would save a click if you wanted to see where someone if from.

-- Scott, San Diego

That’s been brought up before Swied…

I wouldn’t even settle for a list only visible to jocks, as anyone could sign up to see it.

I’m on the map, but only vaguely… you can add your state or whatever to your signature line though. I do know of a few jocks within an hour or two of me… but there could be dozens, and I wouldn’t know.

I placed the pointer in the town near where I lived, not in the exact place. You can be vauge enough
for someone unvited, yet close enough for a fellow member to contact you.

After the very unfortunate incident with Oscorner’s wife, I removed as much precision as I could from my signature and map placement. It’s just a matter of safety these days- kind of a sign of the times. You just don’t know who’s reading these posts.

when we wrote up the “help” files we made sure to mention the security issue—location is a great asset to the site but if you want to be safe, just tag the general region you are in (perhaps within a 2-3 hour radius).

I think it’s somewhere on Martin’s master list (I wonder how many pages long that list is??) .. to have the ability to check out different regions.. or something like that. If I’m wrong, well… sorry Martin .. could you add it to your ever-growing list?? :) :) :)

reminds me of a conversation with an exchange student from Switzerland. He came to Canada and wanted his host family to show him Vancouver (west coast) and Hudson Bay (far north) and the east coast…
When told that it would take about a day to drive from the south of Ontario to the top of Ontario…. he didn’t believe it. He called home to his dad who told him that you could fit 10 Switzerlands into the Province of Ontario.
(I didn’t know that)... I tend to forget how big our provinces are compared to states and to other countries.

Being from California I felt the same way about the New England states where you could drive through
5 or 6 in a day.

I at least like to see the city, state they’re from, I think thats close enough.

If you want to know more about a Jock, write him a private message,

& if he wants too, he’ll give you whatever he chooses.

In the US a zip code search might be useful, and still plenty vague to the bad guys.

-- Maplewood, MN

I agree Dick, a search by state or city/state for the people that elect to list those on their profile, would be cool. Then if two or more wanted to touch base or contact each other they could just send messages.
