IMHO if it's not stated then stable is to be assumed.

Users who run testing/sid are generally expected to have
some degree of troubleshooting knowledge (the clue is in the
name.) Unfortunately, it appears that bad advice is given to
run testing or sid just because a user wants a later version
of a piece of software.

So sure, if a user is running testing/sid then you'd expect
that it would be stated early on in the post and that the
user has a reasonable amount of troubleshooting knowledge, and
has therefore experienced a 'special' case that someone else
may have a clue about.

So in a nutshell, only experienced users should be running
testing/sid and therefore any posts where the dist isn't
mentioned should be assumed that the user is running stable.
