I don't know if others feel this way, but I'd be interested in knowing where in the country forum members are from. I'm not asking for "identifying information," just city and state kind of thing.
Why this interest? A) I'm just curious - a scholar. B) It'd be interesting to see if there are any patterns (see A). C) For me, knowing where folks are located helps me make the material more concrete somehow, less disembodied (all puns intended). D) Perhaps folks in nearby locales want to get together to discuss the teachings.
I know some posters have included their whereabouts. I thought a gathering of such info could be fun.
I'm a Jersey boy, living in St. Louis, MO for the last 4.5 years.
