Some years ago I wanted to travel one way between RDM and SBA.

More recently I needed to travel between the SAC area and SBA. To be
sure, there are flights - by way of SFO.

More recent still was travel between FOT and SBA. You can take the
airlines from ACV with the usual SFO stop if you like.

I have no idea what RDM, SBA, and FOT are, and I live in the state.
Well, SBA I can guess is Santa Barbara. Why should I guess though?
Why not just type out the friggin' city names?

It's much worse when someone posts "I took a trip from SLW to CMI via
WPC, SQP, and XCS and the views were great" and you have no idea even
what part of the country they're talking about, 'cause it turns out
it's on the East Coast 3000 miles from you. I mean c'mon, type out
those place names so we can all read along.

AMEN!

IMHO, those guys who post only IDs are trying to appear "professional"
and "knowlegeable" but fail to communicate clearly.
