Uh, as I pointed out to the other poster, if you had read the article, you would have seen the author’s info right there. The only way one could avoid knowing that this was from Madison, WI would be if one didn’t read the article at all.

Yes, I read the article and in this case I was able to see where it was from. But that’s not always the case. My point is that in the age of the internet, basic identifying information should be right up front on every page, and especially on the first page. My other pet peeve is that articles are often undated. Stuff lives forever on the internet, and ancient information keeps surfacing without any clue as to when it was last updated. There are some simple disciplines that writers, editors and publications should adopt for online purposes.
