I fully agree with what Mike says & would like to comment further. Over the past few months I have noticed many postings raising questions which would definitely be of interest to many in the group, but for which no replies ever appear on Birding-Aus. Sometimes it would be a case of no one having the answers but I'm sure many others are replied to in private, leaving many on the list hanging out for a reply which never comes. Many people are reluctant to post to the list in the light of previous arguments over relevance.
 
Russell, I hope I'm not overstepping the mark by appealing to people to post any topic relevant replies to the list for the benefit of all as well as the archives (unless of course they are of a personal nature).
 
Even in the case of requesting the location of the archives or other such simple info (as happened this morning) posting the reply to the list lets others know it's been answered and avoids the asker being swamped with dozens of private replies.
 
A case in point is the posting by Mark Whittaker about the expansion of Port Botany - if anyone has replied in private I'm sure others would want to hear about it as well.
 
Cheers
