First issue: you didn't mark it as Ohio-specific.

Second: many moons ago there was a really dumb (and draconian) gun control bill at the Federal level variously known as "HB 45" or "HR 45". It went nowhere, but recurring posts on it years after the fact are kind of an ongoing nightmare.

Here's an example:

So when us "old hands" see a thread with "HB 45" in the title, we automatically think the idiot brigade is back and give it a skip.

If you'd included "Ohio" in the title we wouldn't have been so quick to dismiss it, and you'd have had far more people who are actually IN Ohio click in.

If you're posting state-specific stuff, include the state in the subject.
