I don't particularly *want* to publish this information. Therefore, if
the geolocation data is to a large degree wrong, that's just fine!

My whole point was simply meant as a counterargument to your "I can
simply do ip lookup and find out your location". And my claim is that
no, you can't really "simply" do that. And I like it that way.
