Well, yeah, but when posting the name of a town it's pretty easy to add NJ, or PA, or NY. brush Aug 2018 #6

Apology accepted. 3Hotdogs Aug 2018 #8
I read it on the general discussion forum. brush Aug 2018 #9
That's strange. I posted it on the N.J. page. Oh well. 3Hotdogs Aug 2018 #10
I should say, Latest threads tab of General Discussion, my first go-to on DU. brush Aug 2018 #11
The Latest Threads tab... discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2018 #12

But thanks for the link.

And I apologize if I came off dismissive or condescending.
I thought the answer was obvious being posted in the NJ group.

Have a great afternoon

...is not a part of General Discussion but rather lists the latest posts from most of the forums and groups on the site.

I just looked at Latest Threads and your post in GD was 5 down from the post Rodgers on Athem in the Wisconsin group which was at the top. Above each link is the name of the forum or group in regular text.

It's a great design for a site.
Have a good night.

as most people click on a tab like "Latest Threads" at the top of the screen and read a post because the headline interests them. We're not searching to see what group it's from.

Can't hurt, just two more key strokes.

But many folks copy a headline when they post something.
Some folks treat every group and forum as if it's LBN.

You can cross the bridge to PA there - historic town out here in Horse Country that has meticulously engaged in historic preservation. I ate at that café on July 14th.

It's very sad.
