permaculture

[Bob Waldrop <bob@bobwaldrop.net>]

I manage another discussion, with 7,000+ subscribers, that has been in 
bidness since 2001, we require that everyone post their geographic 
location and sign with a name, which I have carried over into my 
postings elsewhere, thus I nearly always include my city after my name.  
We think that knowing the geographic location of a poster adds to the 
value of the conversation.  The list is fully moderated, so we are able 
to enforce that by the expedient of bouncing emails back to people who 
attempt to post to the group without following our format.

This conversation isn't fully moderated but people could be encourage as 
a matter of spontaneous order to add their geographic location as part 
of their sig. I don't put my street address, we say "state/province or 
nation" is fine, and yes we tolerate the occasional "Planet Earth" for 
their geographic location.
