I can't even begin to understand why you appear to be trying to shoot down helpful facts here. Not everyone's gonna click through to the website.

This trivia that the shop is actually in Somerville is only important to a person,
if they want to visit a bike shop near Porter Square, Cambridge.

If they do, they will click through.

So posting it here is not helpful. Just clutter.

It be fair more useful to those who don't click through, to say something about the shop.

E.g. this shop specializes in bikes and accessories for urban street riding.
Not recreational bicycles.
Not mountain bicycles.

Yeah ok, this is actively offputting. You may want to consider how your actions affect the promotion of this store before digging yourself in further here.

Look, you posted on a Somerville-based discussion group. If anything, mentioning that it is in Somerville defends the post being made to the community, which is NOT purposed for Porter Square, Cambridge. Moreover, people can comment with whatever they want to, they have no requirement to add helpful information to your promotional post.

I don't agree with what you posted.
We obviously have very different views of the world, the Internet and livejournal forums.

FTR, I have no interest in this shop, so I'm not "promoting" it. I'm unlikely to buy anything there.

It's a new store that could be of use to people who live near Davis Square, which is on average, less than a mile away.

and when I did click through to it, I found it was not fully baked.
