Not to belabor the point, but there will always be new people--or even 
veteran people--who manage to name a general locality without specific 
qualifiers.  I think we've all done it.  Despite our best hopes, most 
people don't read a FAQ when they join a list.  So, until we find a 
better method to avoid it, when someone posts a message regarding "smoky 
quartz from Little Creek" or whatever, someone can politely remind them 
that localities require specific info like state/county/city etc.  We 
were all new once.  Hell I'd be embarrassed to see some of my old posts 
from 10 years ago.


Best to all,
Don
