Sorry if my reply (?among others) annoyed you David. I think the reason for
your statement ("people do not read their e-mail") is not that they do not
read it, but that most have a different concept than you of "combined". To
me and most, a combined list would mean not each other's totals added
(which of course would contain the vast majority duplicates) but a list of
all species which EITHER one of the couple had seen. Thus a species would
not be counted twice. In your apparent definition below, many species have
been counted twice.
This not being a normal method of setting records, I strongly doubt you
would get any info as to whether your friends have an OZ record...
Sorry!
