Victor,

Feel free to ask anything you want.

I answered timezone when it was asked. I got annoyed by a question that
suggested I was trying to hide the 'where'.
I was trying to hide anything, I just never considered it important. I'm
willing to answer any questions anyone has.
Feel free to contact me off list and ask anything you want.

-Sean-
