Ken,

Well may you laugh. I wonder what these people are on. I have an image of several hundred spotty teenagers poring over maps of America saying "Dobbin Texas, that sounds kind of cool" (which it does incidentally, so no spoiling my illusions please!).

The serious point however, is very well made. Whether it's desperately obvious or not, this kind of thing is spam and should be dealt with as such by the SE's. Like you I can see many ways of dealing with this, some obvious, some not so obvious.

It kind of (read completely) flies in the face of quality searching. There's no point in pretending that local search delivers results when it so manifestly doesn't.

I believe that MSN can kick ass on this one and I certainly hope they do.

Best Regards,
