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.

It says “ We are in pre-planning for the outdoor swap meet in Wall, NJ (near InfoAge). ”
Glasses are good to use when the eyes start to go.🙂

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.

A simple click on the GPS Location link and you have a map.

1) putting essential info, such as WHERE (WHEN was included) means that
you can decide whether to open the item.
2) Not everybody reads their email in a browser.
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.

Be careful to not walk on the wrong side of the street. there is
something military on the side opposite the hall and guards will quickly
come and tell you to stay away!

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.

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