For what it's worth, I thought some of you might be interested in how we
handle postings here in Michigan. We have one list that is strictly limited to
sightings of rarities. We have several others that are more liberal as far as
what topics are permitted. That way, people who are interested solely in
hearing  about rarities can subscribe to just that list; but those who have broader
 interests can also subscribe to one or more of the other lists. One of our
list  managers also runs a bird photo website where members can post
photographs they  took of birds. Personally, I subscribe to and enjoy all the lists.

Perhaps some of the Ohio powers-that-be might consider having one list just
for rare bird sightings and another list for other bird-related matters.

Hoping no one minds a comment from a "foreigner",
