   Is there a spreadsheet for things vendors are bringing to the swap meet?

My mother once got a flat tire on the George Washington Parkway, in 
Langley Virginia, right outside the "Bureau Of Public Roads".  Four 
armed "commandos" came out of the woods, and told her to get back in her 
car, while they changed her tire for her!


For those not familiar with that neighborhood, "Bureau Of Public Roads" 
was a front for a better known organization in Langley.

Might I suggest, that in addition to the date, it would be convenient if 
the subject of the message mentions city and state?
There are CLUES, and it is not very hard to track it down, but not 
everybody happens to know where InfoAge is, so it would be more convenient 
if you stated it.

1) putting essential info, such as WHERE (WHEN was included) means that 
you can decide whether to open the item.

Yes, I can copy the link, and paste that into my browser, and open it.
I said that it would be more CONVENIENT if the subject mentioned WHERE.
I didn't say that we couldn't do it, just that it would be more 
CONVENIENT.


When you click a link, and get aa MAP, . . .
Is the scale going to be such that it is immediately obvious where it is?
Or will it be showing the intersection of Main and Oak street, and you 
need to "zoom out" six stages to find out what city and state? 
(an issue that "some other people" sometimes do)


'course, knowing latitude and longitude, I SHOULD know that that's 
Wall, New Jersey.  I should be embarrassed to have to look up such stuff.

Or, maybe I should just plug that into my car's GPS, and GO!
Sadly, I can't make it to this one.


Maybe mentioning InfoAge is a deliberate filter, to just get people who 
are familiar with it.

It says “ We are in pre-planning for the outdoor swap meet in Wall, NJ (near 
InfoAge). ”

Interesting.  Unless I'm blind, nowhere in that email or the linked flyer does 
it state what city and state (or country) it's in.
