Since we are dealing with mostly federal law on this particular forum, its not a big deal if someone doesn't tell us their state.JETX said:US Law Only - WHEN POSTING A QUESTION, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE NAME OF YOUR STATE

"WHEN POSTING A QUESTION, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE NAME OF YOUR STATE, UNLESS your question solely involves an issue of US Federal law!!"
And expect people to be able to determine that fact BEFORE they post, right??
I don't know how many times we have to explain to newbies.... a Posters location does NOT show up when posting replies...... and we sure as hell shouldn't have to go looking for it anyway!!!Snipes5 said:According to the location listed in the profile, which appears in the post, the OP lives in Nevada, which has no state income tax.
This is getting ridiculous!!Snipes5 said:With all due respect, if you look at the first post in this thread, it says in the top right corner, "Location: Las Vegas, NV".
Trust me, I don't have time to go hunting around for posters' info either!

Unfortunately, some people just can't read.

No one said that 'we' refused to answer. The appropriate reply when someone doesn't indicate their state is.... to provide them with 'the rule':Snipes5 said:I didn't say they didn't have to follow the rules, though I suppose if we all refused to answer if someone doesn't follow the rules, they would either leave or start doing what they are supposed to.
