When to acknowledge ATC

Correct, unless otherwise indicated. Some control zones require Mode C.

We don't have control zones in the US, haven't had them for almost twelve
years now. When we did have them none of them required Mode C.

As I said in a previous post, I'm from Canada. We have them and some
require Mode C.

You'd probably do well to make that distinction when you post.

Why? Is this an exclusively US NG? Is it assumed that people are posting
from the USA unless they make it known otherwise?

Why?


For clarity.

Nope.

known otherwise?


Pretty much, yup. Especially when the quoted material in a message includes
US publications as yours did.

Oh dear! Let me just say for myself that I don't consider this an
exclusive US newsgroup no matter what the inclusions or exclusions.

You're free to consider it anything you like.

Such repartee !
Oh, and by the way, I am a US citizen posting from the USA so the
context of my replies will be within that framework.

I quote:

"Is it assumed that people are posting from the USA unless they make it

Steven's categorical reply: "Pretty much, yup... "

Such an assuption is, at best, borderline arrogance.

Mr. Dog does make his location reasonably known. If you look at the
'From' header of his articles:

From: "Happy Dog"

You'll note the domain of his e-mail address is: sympatico.ca

You're probably aware that '.ca' domain names indicate their location
to be Canada.

His location does not necessarily mean he's speaking about Canadian
procedures. Many Canadian pilots operate in the US regularly. He entered a
discussion where US procedures were being discussed and spoke of Canadian
procedures without identifying his comments as such. Bad form.

Yeah. I should never have expected you to figure that out.
