Actually there
is a way, depending on exactly what you want / need to know. If all you require is to find out how your members are distributed geographically rather than "
who is where" then a
poll might provide you with the answer; it could work fairly well if all or the greater majority of your subscribers are in the US, but rather less well if they are distributed around the globe.
Set up a poll on your group asking members to record in which of the following times zones they live, with a separate "question" for each of the US time zones.(Of which there are seven by my reckoning). It might be prudent to include a "None of the above" so that anyone outside the US can provide an answer; it would be impractical to include every time zone.
You should probably include in the preamble that the poll
cannot be completed by email and that members will thus have to log in and use the web UI; this is the big weakness of polls because anecdotal evidence points towards there being quite a significant percentage of group members who for whatever reason cannot or will not log in and use the web UI.
