Marshall, Greg...everyone...I don't think anyone objected to a
new web site chock full of information. Part of the negative
commentary was, I believe, based on an original
misconception. I think Marshall said something about people
logging onto the site and leaving messages (mea culpa if I
misunderstood), giving some OSPREYers the idea that the
new site would be another discussion list. I know I would not
like to see the incoming messages split, if possible, and
many others likely thought the same. But as I see it, neither
the Ohio or MD sites have anything of the sort, and
information on them is culled from a variety of sources. That
being the case, as I said, the idea is a more than welcome
addition. In fact, I can think of other topics that may deserve
some specialty treatment.
Hoping that this will happen, I think we should establish a
virtual Maryland BirdingNET, so that all MD information can
be easily accessed. I'm not talking about physically
maintaining all the info in one place, nor am I talking about
one site (just so that I am not misunderstood!). Anyone out
there with a MD-based web site, please contact me if you
would like to join in this effort. We can all work together to set
this up.
Best to all of you...
