While I understand concerns of internet security, I do not feel that divulging a simple city/state (or even just the state) really opens you up for any possible issues with others on this site. Even a small town typically has at least several hundred people, making such issues nearly impossible. I can understand not divulging your address/phone number on the site or using the 'find me on the map' feature to map out your exact house, but listing city/state is really no significant risk. (anyone that paranoid shouldn't even be using the internet as there are ways to track IP address and locations even without divulging the aforementioned information)
The basic point of this thread is that location and climate zone are indeed important bits of information on this site. Members are encouraged to list such information to aid in accurately answering any questions they have.
