I agree in general, but it can be very confusing in the RTTY Roundup (and other contests where state info is sent).

For the same reason, you don't want the exchange to include common words such as OR, OK, ON, OH, IN, ME, MA, PA, or mention your TX, or if you are running on DC power, or mention the year Socrates drank hemlock :-). 

Don't end the exchange with an AR or SK, or greet someone in the afternoon with a GA either (just use HI since KH6 is DX :-).

Don't send you name if it is AL or MO.
