Why can’t posters put the state in parenthesis (??) in the title line. example: The Title (GA)

Why cant posters put the state in parenthesis (??) in the title line. example: The Title (GA)I usually do, but there wasn't enough title space available. Considering that the stolen fertilizer could be anywhere in the country by this time, the story affects us all anyway.

Why cant posters put the state in parenthesis (??) in the title line.. Because they think locally. :-)
Seriously, I have often read articles here and wondered, "Where in the hell is that?"

Agreed!
We have no clue as to context
without the state in the title.

What? You haven’t heard of the Tuscumbia metropolis? I thought everybody knew where it is. ;>)

Having to dig through an article to find the geographic location is one of my peeves too.

Why cant posters put the state in parenthesis (??) in the title line. example: The Title (GA) One of my pet criticisms as well. Where there is a key location that is unmistakable (Los Angeles, Albuquerque, Tucson), no problem; but when it's Oakdale, Decatur, Springfield, or Centerville), it does behoove the poster to do the parenthetical, two-letter state thing.

I thought it was Alabama from the TV station’s weather...
My first thought was Missouri??? (I’ve actually been to Tuscumbia, MO)
