There is a couple of frequent complainers on this score. I have had emails and have talked with people who indicated they no = longer post because of one individual in particular. The moderator - if there is such a beast - should indicate to this = individual that his behaviour is unexceptable and stop chasing naturalists away. He will = soon bring the=20 group to a stop! I for sure will be gone. There is no rules for posts to my knowledge so be happy with what you = get. I hope I make my point clear.

Having the location, date, and observer's name = clear in the e-mail is not only helpful to general readers or others in = that area, but to editors for Nova Scotia Birds or North American Birds = who may find the records useful. Some also report to e-Bird, and I would urge each of these to be = careful in naming your locations so that the nearest town or other = community can be identified, especially for yard lists. Too often, they = are simply called "Joe's Yard", "Betty's feeders", "123 Main St." (with = no town name), or even "My cottage", etc., making them quite useless to = anyone but the observer and his or her friends, or to someone with the = time to track down a map link for it and bring it up on the net. = (Painfully slow for those of us with dial-up modems).
