Re: Which is for what?

In response to Richard's question about the birdnet and birdtalk:

There have been a few new people on the Birdnet and BirdTalk lately
who's submissions have kind of blurred the distiction between the two
list-serves a bit.  It's better to recieve the information rather than
cause people to be afraid of making a mistake, so I don't think it's
good to be too harsh about these things.

You're right:

birnet for hotine birds

birdtalk for more causual stuff like trip reports, questions, etc.

When I see that someone is consistantly sending material that seems to
be more appropiate for the other list serve, I usually check to see if
they are on both lists.  If they're not on one, let's say, they're not
on the "BirdTalk" for instance, I usually e-mail them and ask them if
they'd like me to put them on and tell them about the difference. 
Actually I thought I e-mailed you and got a response that you'd like to
be put on the BirdTalk -- although my memory could easily be wrong --
probably is -- so the "magic" was of my doing.

I think that everyone has been pretty patient and understanding about
new people on the list serves -- I think we're doing pretty well.

I hope this well serve as a reminder about the difference between
birdnet and birdtalk.  

Thanks to all who have contributed to either or both.  And thanks to
Richard for asking the the question.

Best wishes,
