He's from Canada, dopy. What would you know about the location field? You use it to be a smartie.

[neverwhere]

i dont pay attention to the location of people.. its always lies!

[BipolarBill]

At TechIMO, the field is mandatory. I'm thinking it should be here too - either a real location or nothing - period.

Who are you kidding anyway - you never even looked.

[neverwhere]

like i said.. dont pay attention (a.k.a. didnt look! )

[reneorantes]

[neverwhere]

$895.47 (not that bad i guess)

[reneorantes]

Oh no You DIDN'T!!!!!!!!




Frankly, I think that it would be curteus that if the person requestion help with a decision of purchasing the parts or just a part for a system that they state in what country they live in. That way we would not have to play the guessing game on their location.

[BipolarBill]

...and a fine example you are setting there, Pennywise!

[gjimene2]

awww comon' it's just there in my location field until I can find a better avatar.

[BipolarBill]

Here's one!

[gjimene2]

Suit's me perfect today!
