Hi all,
Firstly, I want to welcome the 28 new members that signed up for MDBirding during February. We've now officially passed the 700 mark! As promised, I'll be sending out a link to the group guidelines once a month. While mostly for new members, I do also want to take this opportunity to send a much-needed reminder for one of the guidelines -* Signatures!* * * The guideline reads as follows:
*1) Use a signature block with your full name and geographic location at the end of your email such as* * * *Jared Fisher* *Bethesda, MD*
I know we can all forget occasionally, but please try to remember to sign you posts. For those new to birding listservs, it has been a long-standing tradition to not only include your name, but also your geographic location. The location helps because it gives readers some sense of where you are if you post '"siskins at my feeder!". It can also help other members remember * who* you are, especially for those folks that have very similar names.
A pdf with all the best-posting guidelines is attached and can also be read here http://www.mdbirding.com/guidelines.html
best,
Jared Fisher Bethesda, MD
