Type city name/state/region in your message title EVEN if you highlight a state. <BR>I've noticed a lot of ambiguous message titles lately, and many people responding in frustration along the lines of "Why don't you say what state/city you're talking about?!?! <BR> <BR>Posters AND readers may not realize/remember that when you post a message you are given the option of both a message and a 'keyword'. <BR>For example, someone might use "best hotel" as a message and choose "arizona" from the keyword list, not realizing that the keyword does NOT show up in the message title or text, and is only useful for searching among all the posts. <BR> <BR>I really enjoy this forum, but I don't want to 'waste' my time reading posts on topics I thought were about something else, nor do I think posters deserve rude (ok, frustrated) <BR>responses to their posts because they are unaware of how the system works. <BR> <BR>P.S. I thought you were referring to the Inn on the Alameda in San Jose, California! <BR> <BR>
