It's Nice to Know Where Everyone Lives
By Roger Waring

This subject has arisen before on MMD and one should not need to carry
out Sherlock Holmes type research to discover a correspondent's location.
In particular, when requesting parts or offering goods for sale, it all
boils down to common sense and consideration for commercial aspects
such as shipping costs.  Above all though, it is a matter of simple
courtesy.

As I have commented before, not everyone interested in Mechanical Music
lives on the North American continent, and contributors from the USA
taking advantage of the Internet's world-wide capabilities would do
well to recognise this fact.  MMD really is global, and we are all the
richer for it.

I hesitate to overload our already heavily burdened editors but would
it not be a useful function of them to monitor For Sale and Wanted
messages accordingly?

And in their welcome to new members (which I always find most positive)
perhaps the editors could encourage a signature from future
correspondents that carries with it their country of origin?

Pedantically yours,

Roger Waring

 [ I haven't time to investigate all the truth and fiction which
 [ comes to MMD, nor to correspond about incomplete data; MMDigest
 [ simply disseminates the messages.  We all depend upon the senders
 [ to be thoughtful and thorough when they compose their messages.
 [ (They should have learned that in school.)  -- Robbie
