Howdy! Michael and Dale,

When you originally mentioned this displacement, I checked my location
and it said Harper's Choice, Columbia Maryland.

I've checked periodically throughout my Internet
experience, and sometimes all of my cookies or
trackers agree on my location, and sometimes it's
right to within a block and sometimes it's way off.
When I stay in Hiltons, I'm deemed to be in Kansas
or someplace. More often there's no consensus as
to where I am. Right now every cookie I can think
of has me within walking distance of where I am.

It would be interesting to know what cookies various
bits of Google and other sites use to guess where one
is. Right now, I'm right outside Harvard Square, and the
search engine is giving results for the New York metro
area (as it often does), and Maps has given up, intuiting
somehow that I am somewhere in North America - usually it
has me down to within a couple blocks of here.

I live in Southern Indiana and use DSL from AT&T.
Websites usually don't show my location correctly, most of them 'think'
I am in the Indianapolis Area in the middle of the State of Indiana.

Considering that most traffic in the state must be
from there, that's not such a bad guess.

That's O.K. with me if AT&T has me in "STEALTH" Mode.

Unfortunately, whatever program is looking at us can
see more clearly than the sites that don't care so much.

Usually when I visit the website for a local Store:
(Meijer, Target, Wal*Mart, Kroger etc., etc., etc.)
to see if they stock the item I'm wanting to buy, or the cost for it.
The first page that shows up will be for their Store in a City around the Indianapolis Area and I have to go to the Option to Switch To their Store located in MY Area.

I just checked to find that Whole Foods thinks I'm in
01035, 92 miles away, whereas Target and WalMart both
have me pegged within howitzer distance. Star Market
thinks I'm near the Prudential Center, pretty close,
though there's one closer. Stop&Shop, the closest of
which is walking distance, gave up altogether.

I suppose AT&T sends my DSL service up to their equipment in Indianapolis before it goes out on the WWWeb.

There are probably various places on the chain where
snoopers can imagine one is.

... Here On Earth Computers Alway Win Because They Have Inside Information

Luckily, it's often so garbled that the ones who would
sort of care can't get it right.
