I'd strongly recomend that this thread get shut down and removed. Many years back when the wildwest community was more active here we had one individual that caused all sorts of trouble for both the wildwest community and it's suporting members (we lost a major helper due to anonomus cross country hurrassing calls that, due to coutry border issues couldn't be procecuted) as well as repeted attacks on this forum site (and it's affiliates).
I could only imagine what he would have done with a file full of member's home addresses. All you need these days is just a tiny bit of info to dig up more info on folks. A coordinate leads to an address which leads to a name and phone, and all sorts of other info to a dedicated individual.
People can narrow down the location (in both the placemark and the coordinates) as little or as much as they want. They can placemark the country, the region, the city, or their house. Hell, even their specific room if the picture is clear enough. People posting their details here (like me) are taking a 'risk', sure. But we've all thought it through first, or at least I assume most people have.
You want to play it like that, Imageshack? Fine! No signature at all, then!

Good point you have there. I will ask my superiors on their opinions in the matter. during the time, and posts who reveal to much soft deleted until further notice.
Disclaimer:
When posting your coordinates and your addresses you are taking a risk. Think twice before you post a placemark tracing to your address.
If you have posted in the thread earlier and now changed your mind, send me a PM and I will delete your post.
Well, like chaos said, you can narrow it down as much as you like, I actually enjoyed finding Chaos' house, coz I know exactly where it is, just a few meters from my ex-girls house
Oh, and nobody nuked us yet.
personal opinions are to be shoved up your personal ass.
