Marshall, Greg...everyone...I don't think anyone objected to a 
new web site chock full of information.  Part of the negative 
commentary was, I believe, based on an original 
misconception.  I think Marshall said something about people 
logging onto the site and leaving messages (mea culpa if I 
misunderstood), giving some OSPREYers the idea that the 
new site would be another discussion list.   I know I would not 
like to see the incoming messages split, if possible, and 
many others likely thought the same.  But as I see it, neither 
the Ohio or MD sites have anything of the sort, and 
information on them is culled from a variety of sources.  That 
being the case, as I said, the idea is a more than welcome 
addition.  In fact, I can think of other topics that may deserve 
some specialty treatment.

Hoping that this will happen, I think we should establish a 
virtual Maryland BirdingNET,  so that all MD information can 
be easily accessed.  I'm not talking about physically 
maintaining all the info in one place, nor am I talking about 
one site (just so that I am not misunderstood!).  Anyone out 
there with a MD-based web site, please contact me if you 
would like to join in this effort.  We can all work together to set 
this up.

Best to all of you...
