Question regarding peoples thoughts about Swap Groups Specific to a certain city or town.

[+warwagon 12,781]

Want to ask peoples opinions regarding Swap Groups Specific to a certain city or town. Am I the only one annoyed, when you join a swap group for the particular town you live, but then find people posting stuff from all over the place in a bunch of different cities/towns.

 

It personally drives me nuts. I would assume if I'm looking at a swap group for X town, wouldn't it be assumed that I'm wanting things located in THAT town?  I mean if I wanted ones in other towns would that be what an "Area swap" would be for? Why even call it X swap if everything is scattered over a bunch of different locations?

Craigslist is good for that one too, and yes it does bug the pi*s out of me as well, if I am looking for my area, I want to see my area, not the next city over, not fill-in-the-blank.

Boggles my mind how any one can make the argument for it. My mom totally think's ok for people to post other cities in town/city specific swap. I'm like.. it does't make any sense!! If I wanted to see what was in the other towns i'd go to an area swap.

I know at least in Craigslist case, most of the cross posting are commercial posts, but that still does not excuse it, my city is huge, there is no reason at all to show me listing for areas such as Orlando, Tampa, Etc!
