C'mon guys... I know you were yanking his chain, but it wouldn't have been hard to look at the profile under his username and notice he's in San Mateo, CA. But even without that tidbit of info, "the Bay Area" is a pretty common geographical reference to the San Francisco Bay Area, at least within the United States. Kinda like if I told someone I was going to Manhattan, do I need to specify New York or Kansas? Some things can be left to reasonable inference.
But then again, maybe my viewpoint is skewed being a (San Francisco) Bay Area native. ;-)
