    That would work relatively well until you get to a place like London. Then the implied tag would have to guess.

    Should the implied tag default to Vancouver, BC, Canada; should it default to Vancouver, WA, USA? I feel like having a hierarchical tagging system would be a benefit, but perhaps some tweaking in the display? Such as displaying the deepest level tag (or 3 if a city name is listed) with the rest being visible via mouse-over or some other way of tidying it up.

    Well, not with that attitude you won't. Don't sell yourself short just because the field is competitive. Sure it may seem like everyone and their dog is a security expert, but I can promise you...

    Well, not with that attitude you won't. Don't sell yourself short just because the field is competitive. Sure it may seem like everyone and their dog is a security expert, but I can promise you that not everyone is a good security expert. As long as you are willing to put in the work necessary to build your skills I am certain you will be able to break out into the field.

    Thank you.

    Would you be willing to share your thoughts as to why you think that paedophilia could be included?

    I understand Homosexual (Both gay and lesbian), Bisexual, Pansexual, and Asexual all being included but every single one of them (including heterosexual) are what I see as natural (as in born with) sexualities and deal with the sex organs at the root.

    Paedophilia (and its other variants) on the other hand seems to me that is more of a preference to an age of a potential sexual partner that would then be filtered down further to the sex/gender that matches the criteria of the paedophile's sexuality. I would not classify it as a sexuality any more than I would classify a preference for older partners, partners with glasses, etc. as a sexuality.

    Is there more to it that I might be misisng?
