No more bloodshed on Birding-Aus - please!!!!!!  I think we've all received
the message about being geographically responsible long ago - but occasionally
we forget.  I don't think we need another flame war over minor omissions
of place-name netiquette - it's self defeating and contradictory after all
.... and unpleasant for the rest of us.

Even Victorians can err on occasions! - because we naturally
assume that the rest of Australia (and of course the world) orbits some arbitrary
point in Central Victoria near Bendigo???!!! 

[alert - the last sentence might have been intended as a good-humoured
jibe - don't bother flaming me about it]
