Isn't it about time we stopped whingeing about exact directions for
places not being given ? It doesn't take much to ask the sender
privately or look it up on a map or Google, and chances are that if you
don't know the place you're likely to be out of range anyway.

Thanks, Russell, this time I changed the Subject Line to "Subject Lines"
not to "NSW, Sydney, Cumberland State Forest, 7 Emperor Penguins" ;-) My
suggestion not being new shows that there is a low chance of a wide
acceptance.
Fortunately I know that Fogg Dam is in the Darwin area of Northern
Territory's Top End, Jim ;-)

Subject: Lesser Yellowlegs at South West Rocks
A great suggestion, Nikolas, and one that has been made before from time
to time. Putting a new SUBJECT line for a new topic is also handy -
especially those of you who reply to messages received via the Daily
Digest. It makes archive searches a little more straightforward.

PS Probably just as well you retained the earlier subject line in this
case, Nikolas. This one might have caused a little too much excitement:
Subject: NSW, Sydney, Cumberland State Forest, 7 Emperor Penguins
:-)
