Yesterday, Someone Wrote That They Didn't Know DU Profiles Had Info on Location

What does your profile say? Just click My DU on the tab line at the top of your screen. Then click Profile in the next screen. You can edit your profile and then save it.

If you're worried about giving away too much information about yourself, ask yourself why saying what state you live in is too much information. People's profiles help us understand who we're talking to on DU.

I don't really care if you include your location. I was just telling people that if they want to, they can, and how to do it.

I don't see the problem, really.

And he hasn't changed much.
Sometimes I agree with him sometimes I don't.
But he has always been condescending when his views differ from others.

“gas is $4/gal!” from someone in Texas isn’t going to get much sympathy from Californian who wish it were that low.

(Is anyone else old enough to remember “slightly higher west of the Rockies”?)
