It's a matter of courtesy

I'll keep up this campaign. It's a matter of courtesy if nothing else: please put your location in the TITLE of all postings when making theatre announcements, audition announcements, etc. Not recognising that your readers might not be in your city or town demonstrates a narrow and provincial perspective. Failure to put the location for your theatre announcements, auditions, etc in the TITLE of your posts is ignorant and it displays a failure to understand the nature of the internet: it reaches far beyond your suburb! This almost universal failure on the part of people posting on this site undermines its effectiveness and purpose. Above all, though, it demonstrates that you don't care about your readers. As it stands, so many notices DON'T do their companies credit. Why are you posting these notices at all if you don't want to reveal the location of your theatre up front?

So James, I am assuming

So James, I am assuming that you intend to read nothing on this site that doesn't have "Gold Coast" in the title. No interest at all in anything other than your own little parochial area. You seem to be pretty much alone in your campaign. Does this tell you soemthing? I read all reviews, all personal blogs and most production entries. In fact when I'm not busy I read everything. I don't want to know just about Adelaide. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
