So... is there anything to be gained by doing this? What's the point?
Curiosity, a simple visual, Mars is aligning with Venus while intently watching Uranus. Pick a reason, any reason will do.
K... whatever... just wondered, since everyone has the chance to list their location to be displayed with every one of their posts. Just seemed redundant to me that's all.
Like Radio said, many people like the hard visual at their fingertips as opposed to having to visualize or look up each one on a map. It's kinda neat to be able to see everyone in a single glance, it provides a certain perspective. Also, do you know how many people would fail a geography test? Just of the USA.......
