If the person he was looking for was on here, they would have understood it without the additional details. Indeed, ANYONE in the state of California probably got his meaning. Certainly anyone in the SF Bay area understood.
What are you talking about?Inappropriate abbreviation. I mean sure, why not a NANOG Friday Fight Club, but why would you want to get in a ROW (noisy argument) with BART Simpson?
Could be amusing, perhaps an event some people would buy tickets to as a source of revenue. I agree that it’s worth considering the breadth of the audience you are posting to when deciding how much to abbreviate your message. However, it’s not unusual for people to fail to do that. Owen
