We just need to remember that MDOsprey serves different needs for different people. As Norm says, if a particular message does not meet your needs, use the delete key and know that someone else is probably using the save key for that same message. I would rather see this diversity continued, instead of trying to make it fit into some narrow range of rules. And as for noting which state a sighting occurs in, I think it is safe to assume that postings on MDOsprey refer to MD birds, unless otherwise noted. I think most postings have followed this convention and I can't see why this should cause anyone a problem.
