Richard's suggestion definitely makes sense although people who use their main email for these lists may not want to make this part of the signature since it would then also be part of any other email they send. But I have often reminded people when they post about services like Apple Pay or Apple Cash or even TV services like Hulu to mention their location because the many countries don't have them, same applies when people talk about cell providers. Somebody may for example ask what accessible apps there are to transfer a smaller amount of money to a friend or family member and if they, for example, were in Canada like me then a dozen people suggesting they should use Apple Cash or Venmo, but doesn't mean anything for us here in Canada since while I can pay just about at any store using Apple Pay, Apple Cash has not yet arrived here and instead of Venmo we have Interac Email Money transfers. With that you can easily send money (minimum of $10 and maximum can be $2,500 or $3,000 or higher depending on your financial institution) to any person or business as long as they have an email address. I can even set up auto deposit which means I associate a particular email address with my bank account where I want such deposits to go to and then as soon as somebody sends me an Interac email money transfer the money is automatically deposited to that account and I simply receive an email telling me that so and so send me whatever amount and that it was deposited. If you don't set up auto deposit you get the same email, but you then have to click on the link to deposit the money, you are redirected to the Interac website where you select which financial instution you use, you sign in to your online banking, select the account where you want the money to do and then tap on "Deposit Now". Of course this comes with a security question or otherwise anybody who could get a hold of that email could deposit the money so during the process you have to enter the answer to a security question the sender has selected. Auto deposit is much safer because just as with passwords people are not too smart and often choose very obvious security questions and then if the email is intersected or highjacked and the person who does this can guess the answer they can still deposit the money to their account. Anyways, there have certainly been many examples where I wish people had mentioned where they are from since somebody including yours truly may have answered a question only to get a reply that whatever was suggested doesn't work because it is not available where the person lives.
