Several people have complained (and we have reported) about Newsday's inability to track their "location" accurately on their boards (perhaps the blame lies with Topix, the company that owns the boards).
It's mostly stuff like some guy in East Meadow having his location listed as Hempstead or whatever. Annoying, but not too big of a deal.
So as we try to shamelessly promote ourselves on the Newsday bulletin boards, we've found something odd:
Take a closer look:
Spring Grove, Illinois? Even if we lived in one of the most western Nassau towns, like Elmont, that'd be nearly 900 miles away.
What gives? Is Newsday trying to paint Long Island Nation as not being from Long Island? Come clean, Newsday, or else we'll drop the corpse of Ed Lowe onto your Melville headquarters.
(What? He's still alive?)

Its a matter of who your ISP is, and where their servers are located. Goto http://www.ip-adress.com/ and see. My IP is based out of Highland, MD; yet I'm in Holtsville, NY
Then they ought to just eliminate that part and have people manually enter where they're from.
I agree, it's usless anyway. When I joined it asked me to enter my hometown, so now when i post it says:
Eastport, NY
ISP Location: Highland, MD
(I post from work in Holtsville, live in Eastport)
Dundee?
