As a general discussion question, are there any other listserve-services to which MDOsprey could migrate that have better usage terms that might accommodate more users?

Hi All,
I'm glad my original post stimulated some discussion. By no means should it be meant as a criticism of Norm or his selflessness of setting up (and paying for) the listserve. It's also interesting to hear that others have setup local bird lists. While this is fine and might even be necessary due to the membership limit to MDOsprey, I'm concerned that it could end up splintering communication too much. If folks in DC were to setup something like this, I wonder if people would always cross post to MDOsprey. I'm sure we wouldn't want sightings to fall through the cracks.
While George mentions that he doesn't think it's good if everyone can post, I think there's more to gain from increased participation than to loose with clutter.
In this online age, it just seems like there are free options that can accommodate all those interested in MD/DC Birding (e.g. yahoo groups, etc.).
Respectively,
Jason Berry
Washington, DC

But not everyone can't post. Perhaps this is a good thing.
My 2 cents worth.

For those who haven't figured it out, EVERYONE can get to the MDOsprey
sightings, just go the website and click on Archives. And it you don't
like the alphabetical listing, they use.
Type birdingonthe.net into your browser, click on Regional/Specialties,
then MDOsprey.
You don't need an account to do either. So you don't have to create yet
another password. Sure you can't post, but ask somebody on it.
And as always, thanks to Norm for all he does!
