I think you miss the point. It does not matter how many venues are local or how often you go to the same one. You can go for years to one local venue and still not find a forumite there even if there are loads. Especially if they do not give a picture or a location (which only possibly might) let you know and that you have a reason to look up their profile.

If people were voluntarily on a map you can tell a persons local relative to you. This is useful if say you wanted to arrange a weekender or workshop with a person you might not otherwise be aware of.

DJ - nice facebook picture got the clue now.
