The word "coward" could be a pre-judgement. I would prefer something like "Can't tell you" or "Don't want you to know" which accurately reflects the situation than the word "anonymous". This is what the forum will display if one does not fill in the location.
Joel Rainville said:The fact that the location is empty makes me wondering :
1 - is this a 14 year old trying his best to be understood?
2 - is this from someone overseas struggling with english not able to come up with a comprehensible question?
3 - or is it a rude person, wherever they're from, trying to get their homework done by someone else and who clearly don't give a d@mn about the subject altogether. Those guys most people here don't wanna waste time with.

roboticmisinfo said:But I do think, however, that it shouldn't matter which country you are from - it shouldn't make any difference. Why would we want to know somebody's location?
]It is pretty obvious if somebody is foreign when they can't construct sentences correctly.
If they are fluent in English, then it doesn't matter where they are from...
how can so many questions be country specific?
Just imagine the number of posts that are asking for help regarding:roboticmisinfo said:Sorry if I have got anyone's back up. Maybe I am missing something... how can so many questions be country specific?
Kind regards
Mike
roboticmisinfo said:Sorry Joel - you are right I was being a bit narrow minded there - by foreign, I mean foreign to the Wetern world... . I do not have a simple wiew of the world - you obviously didn't uderstand me. Where I live (In the UK as it is relevant here) there are a lot of older people with old fashioned views about country of origin (to be politically correct lol). Again I will say that some folks will not help people from other countries where culture etc is different. & again like I say I have seen it on electronics forums. Thats my views, and we obviously all have different point of view on this, so we should probably leave it there.
Regards,
Mike
