New Format Makes It Difficult To Understand Perspectives Of Posters

Before folks could self identify with regard to faith community, country, and political party. This helped understand where folks were coming from, should they chose to self-identify.

For example, now, we guess that someone is from the US, and misunderstand someones comments.

Self identification is very important in having discussions, especially with those who only come to a particular board occasionally.

I would really like country: Europe (or EU) with the EU flag to show in all my posts. Political party is definitely not necessary.

Yes, country is very important to understand where someone is coming from. I also want to see which faith community they come from. For example, when a Lutheran says something about the Lutheran Church, it might be viewed differently than if a Catholic or Presbyterian made the same comment.
