Hi Mr. Slater,

 I was not attacking you, in fact, I agree with your very concern. I too
would like more info to locate sighted birds. That is the very reason for
this list, or so I thought. My post was not one of attack, but more of
frustration for all of the yada yada that seems like it should be discussed
somewhere else. But, in the end, it is only my opinion, and perhaps I did
not represent that properly.
 I think your opinion is quite valid, and I support it. It would be a shame
to lose your passion here on my account. I apologize.

To address the issue;
 Perhaps a database of "hotspots" can be made with links to websites with
maps and/or directions. Electronically speaking, it's not that difficult to
do. Perhaps the OOS could host this or provide links, etc. to it's members.
 Another thought would be to have all sightings posts be posted through a
form that required the location info to be posted before it would be
electronically accepted. My $0.02.

Sincerely,

Andrew Morrison
Kirtland, Ohio
