First of all, he's not asking for your address, real life name, your wife's name and for the name of your favorite pet in camp, don't see why it wouldn't be a smart thing to ask where someone RELATIVELY lives.
As for that, I live somewhere in the lower middle, Moneterey County, and I'm Crystality just started playing today as a warrior

Did you read my post? It's obviously not aimed at the OP in particular. It was very jokey...
I think people are cleverer than you think. If someone has your town or suburb and then gets friendly with you ingame you may indeed share personal details.
Trusting person says:
"Oh I'm sad, today is my grand mother's funeral. Lucky she lives in the same town".
Bad person looks up funeral notices and then knows your name and can easily find your address.
Look of course this is 99.99 % not going to happen, but why take a chance?
Also you might not be sharing information but lots of kids play CH and may be much more trusting.
