[Rockhounds] netiquette topic

[pmodreski at aol.com]

P.S., as Don said, I'm sure that there are a few of these worldlike localities that can just be mentioned by "short name" and almost everyone will know where they are, are such as "Pikes Peak" or "Franklin" or "Tsumeb" or "the Red Cloud mine" or "Newry" or "Bancroft".

But even then, it might be OK to mention them that way casually in passing, but if really asking some serious question about one, most of us would probably add at least the state or country to clarify it so everyone would be totally clear where we were at.? (And of course--I should add--one still might regardless need to make clear if one meant Franklin, NJ, or Franklin, North Carolina!)

Cheers to all,
Pete
