I am not saying that there is anything wrong with expressing your opinion of how you use the location and address fields. As has been stated many, many times, the Legacy developers have provided a tool that is very flexible and gives us different ways to use it. How we use it is up to each individual. The question to be asked by each of us is "Does the way I enter data provide me with the end result I want, whether it be in reports, GEDCOM format, or web pages in order to share this data with others?"
What I take issue with is someone saying that putting the full location name in the location field is WRONG. I have never and will never tell someone who has chosen to use the 4-field convention for the location fields and puts the full address in the address field (for vital fields) that his or her procedure is wrong. We have all chosen the way we enter data. There also is nothing wrong with taking a step back and looking at this periodically to see if perhaps we as individuals need to re-think the way that we do it because the end-result needs have changed. If the decision to change is made, it is not wrong. I don't know if I am in the minority in regards to how I use location and address fields. I would suspect that this group of users has been vocal in that we are sharing our experiences and why we chose to use the method that we do but we also will state that neither method is wrong. We also just happen to be the people who share the most with the users on this list by providing assistance and answering questions. You may call it "grumpy"; I certainly don't. So now, let's move on...
