Angus, The short answer is that email messages with a yahoo.com address are still being directed to spam. That is where I found Brendan's message.
The broader question of how to keep track is harder to answer. At least eBird, tweets, and Facebook postings are open to the public. Text groups, which are often not publicized and have limited membership are, I think, more of an open question. Donna *---------------------------------------* *Donna L.
