Irritating Comments

Don't you just love some of those informative comments on the hit bills?

from Saskatoon: "got it at a store". Wow. Must be a couple of thousand places THAT could be!
from Regina: "ATM". Better. There are probably only 50-60 options there.
from Kamloops: "Has website written on it". Well DUH.
from Calgary: "got it at work". Hmm. That probably covers 100,000 sites of so.

Guess you can tell I like a full, useful description!

Most of my descriptions are good. I only have crappy ones when theres nothing to describe.

I got one today.. From ATM - A bank machine…….
…. ….
Also this one.. This is the first bill I have seen with the site on it.
From a resturaunt
Or a classic "Hi".. Why even bother

I disagree completely. Remember that these people are newbies or anonymous. They may not realize how much fun we "regulars" take in reading the comments. At least they made some sort of effort. Heck, at least they bothered entering the bill in the first place. :)

On a side note, I just spent $50 in user-marked bills at a little Mexican place with a patio on 17th Avenue (about a block from my work located here)… in case anyone cared. :)

I agree with dr, I get disappointed if there are not any comments. It's nice to read something even if it is just "ATM".

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate just about anything (but I'll pass on 'wiped my a** with it').

And I might even be able to forgive newbies' meaningless comments. But when experienced trackers find a marked bill and say nothing… that hurts. Idjit had some great comments when he hit a bill!

And dr, for the first time in ages, I used the hyperlink to Mapblast, and was pleasantly surprised. Faster, and I really appreciate how precise it is. It's not perfect, but eg., redmax hit a bill of mine yesterday, and indicators on the map are just about right on. Considering the difference between the 2 locations was only 2.85 km, I was impressed! Thanks!

I guess most times I'm guilty of just writting a small comment, however at the very least it something.

I was looking at the mapquest and it puts my mailing P/C
somewhere out towards Yorkton, SK. which should be Wildwood Mall. Its much better with my street address.
I think I'll change it so it a little closer to being right.

I put in my P/C for work or home and they both come up in the same spot…. the wrong one! It puts me about 12 blocks from the right spot.

Like I said, not perfect.

It puts me in South Nutana Park. About 2 klicks straight west.

Redmax: I see it puts you in Brevroot Park, about 1 km due west.

dr, would that be a MapBlast error then?

BTW - I just went to the MapBlast site and entered my PC there. It was much more accurate, maybe only a half a block out.
