I like "over the top", Sheryl!
Woofie- yes, that's exactly right about the problem with zip codes. I think most people get over that by scanning the list for their state, and making deductions from there...but that's horribly inefficient and....well, it just isn't good enough for me.
Dave and I have been brainstorming this aspect, and we're playing with a few ideas.
Zuzu- I agree. Comments really are the very very best way to get the most info about who/what. Getting people to add comments is a whole 'nuther story- as you well know.
Coming up with something that is quick/easy enough for people to do, yet informative enough.
