[CT Birds] the Daily Report Compiler

[Clay Taylor]

All -

I totally agree with Scott's first statement.   That raises a possible 
solution - a separate e-list like Dori's original one that only gives 
output, in this case the Daily Report that is compiled nightly from the 
sightings submitted to CT Birds and even eBird.    That way you still get 
the Daily sent directly to your computer but don't have to weed through 
rants like mine.

That still doesn't address the time and effort that people like Roy expend 
in doing the compilation, but I would think in this day and age of 
convenience that the CT Daily Report List Serv could employ a different 
(volunteer) person each day to do the manual work of compiling and sending.
