An Unknown Location

Rant about unknown location and vague topics.

I can understand people wanting to be anonymous when posting things of a personal nature. Location is very important to what the answer should be. Differant laws in differant locations can completly change what a good answer would be. Cultural and economic differances in differant areas of the world can also change what a good answer would be.

The first line of your posts should be very specific. Many people who would be willing to help with a specific problem will probobly not take the time to browse through a thousand posts that say “Help”, or “I need help with something” before finding something they feel knowledgable enough to respond to We already know you want help, that’s why we’re on “HELP.COM”. Is the problem with your car or your emotions.

If you really want help, you need to help us help you.

Just Saying.

I’d agree.

As far as not dislosing location, some people just don’t feel comfortable doing that so they don’t even have it showing on their profile.

But I see your point and mostly agree with what you’ve written.

Many people don’t know what to say in the first post but then provide many details in replies. This is pretty easy to work with, especially if the title is accurate.

it’s true most people aren’t equipped with some basic critical thinking skills, or maybe just the will or confidence to apply them. but getting people to talk to you is sometimes the funnest part. :)

it’s nice making a connection every once in a while.

My point is: The author of this post, who is complaining about people making posts from Unknown Locations, is in fact herself from an Unknown Location.

Therefore: His complaint is like antimatter to her own post, and shall implode sometime, probably pretty soon.

Poet Takes Extra 5 Minutes To Vague Up Poem

ANN ARBOR, MI—After completing a poem originally titled “Last Dawnbreak,” local poet Keith Taylor spent five additional minutes removing verbs and punctuation in order to give the piece a level of vagueness more suitable for publication.

“Harshness your light fallen—Sporadic. Droppings.” reads the now-untitled poem’s opening line. “Juniper glass, my world of 19—. Orion! Orion!”

Though he has already replaced the names of his friends with largely unknown African deities, Taylor said the poem would not be totally ready for publication until his 5-year-old nephew completes work on the third stanza.

Okay. I’m just wondering how else we can help this person. It’s not very clear, he has a problem with Unknown Locations? I guess I could suggest praying or seeing a doctor.

I didn’t even know that “undisclosed” was even an option.
