Not just for this post but for all posters in all posts. Is it too much to ask "in what state?" ? You don't say and the article doesn't say. You mention "in Durham" I suspect it's probably in the Carolinas...But I live in New Hampshire less than 25 miles from Durham NH and New Durham NH. At the link I get the name of a local newspaper but no mention of state. All posters need to identify location whether it's news or info-"It's snowing here" tells me nothing and "it's snowing in Portland" could mean Oregon or Maine. Don't just write a post-consider if it tells the reader what they need to know.

I myself have tried a couple of times to ask people to up their game a little. Seems like they responded "up yours."

(1,975 posts)I generally just say Fairbanks - but there are several.
I don't always identify the state.
