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
