I've been here for nearly 5 years now.
My profile has always had my info, and I've never had a problem because of it.
(I did get an invoice from another member once, but that was because I was in his MS Outlook address book, and had nothing to do with ECN)

It's an awful lot easier to understand or respond to a post if you know where the member is located. Things are done very differently, for example, on the East Coast vs here on the West Coast.
Also, it helps to know if you're talking with a first year apprentice, or a "Code Specialist" [Linked Image]

There really is nothing to fear.
