I think there should be a new subject - FALCONERY Some may think this is dumb, but it is actually very important because of the way the sorting programs work. The people who use "readnews" to read their news can specify which subjects they want, and if the Subject line is not standard, they miss the post. The people who use "rn" to read their news can specify Subjects to delete, so if the Subject is not standard they receive it anyway. This isn't as bad, but it can be cumbersome to delete articles if you are running at lower baud rates. It is not that had to put a standard abbreviation in the Subject line is it? Especially if it really helps out your fellow birders. Thanks, Sandra P.S. I LOVE hearing about Falconery!!!!!! > >(Actually, I suspect that the posting never went out to the net due >to a problem with our note server - let me know if I should re-post it.) I got it!
