J & V, how 'bout that? I'm Jon, a/k/a Seldom Slim, the head handlebar holder of this site. I get notifications of newly-joined members of the Forum - and sometimes despair of the new folks' habit of NOT filling in their home location. There's a spot for it -- in the Profile part of the registration page. So now and then I'll enter something for you (the new folk) -- and whaddaya know, I guess I got it right this time. That is -- if you are travelers without a specific home location -- well, "Where am I?" might have hit it right on the head.
That said, welcome to the Forum. I'll let the others give their ideas of how and when and why and such, but wanted to let you know that I'm glad to have you here.
