Thanks Russell
I like the list the way it is too! And congratulations on No Spam!
I would like the Archive a bit easier to search but I am prepared to believe
that if I tried harder I would learn to do it more skilfully.
I don't use the Digest.
With quite a lot of experience in trying to provide information to a range
of users of various interests and skills, I now believe that the more you
try to make one system serve too many purposes at once the more you are
likely to muck it up. So please keep at any rate this front end simple and
straightforward!
Most of the things that can be annoying on Birding-aus are nothing to do
with the system but the result of human behaviour - not changing the subject
line when you change the subject, and what Sean Dooley calls "too much
information" in the Internet section of Anoraks to Zitting Cisticola - ie a
sequence of information of decreasing relevance to the original question,
are just 2 examples. Technology will never fix this, humans just find new
ways to be annoying. (Yes that was an advertisement for Sean's book, I
enjoyed it a lot and learnt a lot from it.)
And birding-aussers, please keep reporting rare and exciting sightings here!
Thanks Russell and Bill, thanks birding-aus contributors!
