Hi chaps, personally I don't have any problem with highlighting where people lives, and the fact is some members do fill their application forms stating their location other don't and these have a reason of privacy for doing so, which I and everyone has to respect.
However a couple of years ago, I prepared a database in a thread asking those people who are willing to be summoned for a ride, to let us know their location and their preferred terrain & weather conditions, so that we can contact the members which fill the criteria of a particular ride. the link is here:
http://xt660.com/showthread.php?t=7848 some people filled their details in, other didn't and the rest forgotten to keep the thread refreshed from time to time.
I suggest you use it as it is the next best thing to have nothing at all.
Cheers
