Country in subject line, please
 
Hi, folks -
This forum covers a lot of very diverse countries; if people would get in the habit of posting the country in the subject line it would make it easier for those of us who are mostly interested in a few specific countries and I think you might get more helpful responses. For example: "Costa Rica Car Rentals" instead of "Car Rentals". Just my 2 cents worth...

thanks for that -- most of the Mexico posters seem to put their destination in their title, but it always seems to be the Costa Rica posters who don't follow the rules!

LOL, Frankie. . .it's all that Pura Vida we've been exposed to! :)

I agree....

I think one can generalize that CR travelers live in a world of their own.

Yes, hopefulist this is a very good habit to get into, so in defense of the unsuspecting new poster -
My belief is that someone posting a new topic, does indeed think that it will only show up in a forum for that particular country. My ideas are based on the way that this forum is set up -
after you click on - "Post a new message" - you then are asked to - "Pick A Topic" - this is where I think they get lost. Once the poster clicks on let's say "Costa Rica", I believe that they then think their message will just show up in the Costa Rica forum, not knowing that it will show up in the All Included Latin America Forum.

And yes - I am addicted and don't have any intention of trying to kick the habit!!! LOL.
