Tree,

I got flamed a couple of years ago by putting out many many spots without 
including section information.  The flames came from a few stns who were 
using the spots to find sweeps.

If I go assisted (still undecided), I will continue to put out spots without 
sections for two reasons:  1.) I don't want the bother of having to enter 
section info into the spot, and 2.) I don't believe that the section info 
should be included in the spot info; the section should be learned during the 
exchange.
