Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post?

Quick question

I just had to enter a verified address into my profile in order to continue posting here.

Does anyone know why that took place? I don't really love posting my physical address on user groups like this.

Did anyone else have to do this?
Thanks

New posts there are scant. MUG seems to have kicked the bucket a long time ago. It used to be pretty lively there in olden times.

The forum side of Agon infromes and supports the buy/sell side and thus the need for those required fill in the blanks. Our digital trails are a regrettable appendage of our life’s today.
