Hey all, Just for the record, Steve Walter was not referring to Digest mode but rather Vacation mode. You receive NO emails but can still post. I have been on this option for several months. I check on http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01, perhaps at the handicap of a few minutes of info delay, but it hasn't cost me a bird yet. Instructions to setup Vacation mode and to get out of it are also here: http://www.northeastbirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm My rule of thumb for posting is "will someone care about my info?" and in general the answer is that somebody will, and likely they'd want to know as soon as possible. I'd hate to a miss something due to someone else's apathy. This applies equally to lectures and conservation action items. Worst thing that can happen is that your info isn't a hit with people. In general, it takes about a second to inspect an email to see if it might have anything interesting in it. Although honestly this is literally the reason behind the subject line, which I feel is neglected in general. I like to post with my top one or two birds, location name and county, and date all conveyed with no further need to click. I appreciate concision and timely updates for the RBA side of things here, but besides backyard first-of-season sightings, I get a kick out of just about everything posted, however much is shared in the subject line. I mean, this is what we signed up for. All my best, Brendan Fogarty PS: see, no email train down here! I copy-and-pasted the title to feign normalcy heh heh. ;) --
