On some topics (such as stoves and raingear that are good year round)
I think that the sender should make clear whether they're from Florida
or Minnesota - it has a big impact on the information.
As a 42 year old first time Philmonter this summer, I would absolutely
like to know how old people are, so I can calibrate their trekking
pole comments.
(If it's not too sensitive a topic)
