Please clearly label objects and locations.

I at least half expect someone to notify me recent placemarks I have posted have already been posted. I try to be careful about using the BBS, but that is generally only useful for posts several months old due to the time between updates of the layers. I also check Search, but that is only useful if posters use clearly labeled posts describing the object and its location With so many people posting so many things it is essential to take another minute or two to identify both the object and its location to the best of your ability. A search for a specific key word or words often results in many hits. Many have simply a RE: whatever was in the original post which is fine as long as you are simply commenting on the original post. But many new placemarks get hidden as RE: posts. Change the subject line from RE: even if you are responding to a post if you are introducing something new. That way you, and lots of grateful others, will be able to find your placemarks easily.

Just a comment: It seems to me that most posters are now doing much better at describing placemarks and posts. Thanks for helping.
