Successes - adding location info?

Hi

I'm sorry if there has already been a topic about this.

I noticed some people on here don't have their location in their profile, and sometimes when people post a success for example, they might say it took 3 months, and if their post doesn't give any clue to their location, I have no idea if they come from the same country as me, so I can't really gauge if it could take the same amount of time, if you understand.

Especially if the celebrity is someone from the UK (like me) and then I read it took 3 months, I'd really like to be able to say "oh, that's probably why because that poster came from Russia".

So I was wondering, if ever if the future, it would be possible to have this piece of information a part of what you need to add when you post a success? I know the time between sending your request and receiving your autograph can really vary, but still, from your own country, the chance of receiving one faster has to be greater?

I would find this very helpful anyway. :)

Does it really matter? Its only going to be a matter of days difference anyway.

Well to me it matters actually.

Some people I am interested in and whose agencies are in the UK, when I see successes that took 3 months upwards I think, "that's a long time". But if I don't know where the poster came from, it could be because they live in another continent, which would explain it.

Like I said, its only going to make a few days difference either way.

I'm in the UK. If a US member reports a success that took 2 weeks, then if I then wrote to them, mine migght take 3 weeks. Its only a few more days there and back, its not months or anything. :roll:

Plus another person's success time has absolutely NO bearing on how long your reply may take, so its irrelevant in many ways.

Hi Johnny's Fan,
I am not sure if its going to make such a big difference either :neutral: ; the max difference is 10 days. Does that seem like alot to you?

I have never heard before that the time difference is 10 days, otherwise I would not have posted. I didn't know that it had been pretty much calculated. Thank you for telling me.
