I agree that the post is not county specific and should be deleted.
Thanks for reminding me about the Unknown board, John!
I am thinking that I will tell him to post on the Unknown board. I
forwarded his message to the moderator of the Mississippi list with a
request that it be posted to that list if the moderator thought it would be
appropriate.
I would like to help the man, but I think there are other better ways to do
what he is trying to do.
I'm still open to suggestions?

He did the same on my two boards. I have a questions. Shouldn't
he use
the
"Unknown County" query board?
