Hello Ian,

I see your point, but what then would be the point of having a group of talented, knowledgeable individuals interested in talking about such things if we all just went and looked it up in the guide?

Also, these were unusual things that may or may not be documented, e.g.: is it well documented that Kings talk fluent Crimson? Further, where would I look up ‘loud, unusual creaking cries’?

But I certainly do concede that field guides have their uses... 8^)

Just a suggestion James, but I find we're more likely to remember things
for later if we look them up in the field guide. We might get a quicker
answer by asking someone else, but we're less likely to recall it when
we need it.

cheers

Ian
