I agree with Kim. Sometimes a poster will write of hospital practices "in
my area," or that her hospital is working toward Baby Friendly, or speak of
the excitingly high breastfeeding rates in her part of the country, and I
long to know where she lives.

I add "Milwaukee" to my signature each time I write to Lactnet, because
others use this e-mail service and they use their own signatures.  It
becomes automatic and doesn't add much time. By the way is Milwaukee enough
for the non-US folks?  Is it provincial of me to assume that "everyone"
knows that Milwaukee is in WI?
