No, Mike, I disagree!

If everyone puts the right information into the headline of their message
(e.g. "species-place-state" or "place-state" if you aren't reporting a
specific species), then the pre-screening process would be much easier and
save a lot of time.
I.e. if you are in Sydney you may or may not be interested in the fourth
Channel-billed Cuckoo of the season on Croker Island... So a useful headline
could be a good indicator for "read" or "delete".
Moreover, a useful headline makes later web searches for specific species or
places much easier.

The above Sabine's Gull was seen yesterday in off Long Beach near Portland,
Oregon, USA. Not in Long Beach, NSW, nor in Long Beach, TAS, nor in
Portland, VIC, nor in Portland, NSW!
If I had put "Sabine's Gull, Long Beach near Portland, OR, USA" it may have
caused less anxiety in Victoria this morning.

Cheers,


Nikolas

I'm getting as irritated by the 'please tell me where it is' messages as
some people are by the lack details!

If you have the internet it takes as long to type the name into googlemaps
or something similar as it does to send a message complaining to
birding-aus.

With the added bonus of getting an actual map or satellite image, which is
much more descriptive than words or GPS references on here. And whilst there
may be odd time there is still confusion I would wager that nine times out
of ten you get the right spot. There is certainly only one Croker Island in
Australia showing on googlemaps.

Cheers
