I used the name half of the email address in your profile. From there, I looked through the places that had that username. None of them gave very much useful information until I came to http://www.racjonalista.pl/index.php/s,47/k,32138 . From there, I looked up what PL represented, and it's Poland.

Addendum: Also, Googling your HackerNews username, on my second page of Google shows more .pl domains where that username is found.

The Internet can be scary.

Nothing really scary here, I just didn't think of adding data from my profile to the queries :) It's stupid, because if it wasn't my profile and my post I would probably do it the same way. I tried to google the country using only the informations included in the post but I somehow forgot that I'm the author and the fact that I live here was in the post too. Oh well, it happens ;)

Thanks for explanation and for hinting to google results for my username - I haven't tried that one for too long.
