This isn't so much a question as a suggestion.?

Question

I believe that everyone should be more specific about which country they are from and which particular game they are referring to. I've noticed many disagreements between people, not because one was more correct than the other, but because they were coming from different points of view. I answered a question regarding the differences between cue balls in bar tables and I was correct in my response. However, I only was thinking about American bar tables, so I take some blame for that. When people ask about cues, they should specify which game they will be playing. I think that both the askers and the answerers would benefit from this information. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee (USA)

Answer 1

Just to add my two cents.  It may not be so much to ask which country one if asking from but which game in particular.  While "pool" in the US could be anything from Straight Pool to 8-ball, "pool" elsewhere may mean Carom games.

Answer 2

I agree with you straight _ shooter. I think it would also be very helpful to have separate categories for POOL , SNOOKER and BILLIARDS. But that may be asking for a little too much. People seem to put whatever question in whatever category anyway. I'm not sure if they just don't get it or what.
