I dont know if im doing this right but going to try making a poll

Reason Im asking is cause sometimes I get asked where I live and I took a computer class at clinton community college a couple years ago and in it they said never tell people on line where you are. They advised things like making up places or saying you are from places you are not from.

I made up this thing that's taped to the side of my computer to remind me what to say when people ask me where Im from instead of telling them where Im from.

I dont orignially live in NY just staying here during classes so i chose this dead mining town I heard of in a science class. The town was called Tahawus (which is a bit of a screw up choosing that on my part cause the town was dead before I was even born and the mine was shut down by the time I was a year old, anyone googling it would see through that in a second) I also picked some other little towns my dictionary said has under 2000 people in it to be from and lived in.

I was wondering if others do the same.

the poll is -

Do you tell people where you are from?

options

I dont tell anyone on line where I am from.
I tell some people where Im from
I tell people Im from other places.
