Here's a small suggestion that might help us manage the hundreds of post to Paddlewise. By mentioning the name or location from which we post in either the subject line or the first sentence we can help reader decide it they want to read on. Being invited to attend the surf beach kayak fun day sounds great, but having to read through the entire post only to find out it's on the other side of the world is a time waster. Although abbreviations save us time I'll bet there are subscribers around the world who don't know the thousands of abbreviations for place names. It took me a while to recall that TX stands for a small county in the American west. ;-) To all those people who do this, thanks, you've mastered one of the lessons of introductory journalism 101.
