David, It's been interesting reading all the cool ideas that have been on tn-moths the last couple of days. I feel like this thing is evolving into something I can't yet forsee. It's exciting. That being said, I'm still not sure what, if anything, I should do now.

To: tn-moths@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I agree we don't need any 'rules'. I just mentioned that to describe the page I was trying to think of...like a FAQ page. I agree that things are going well with this list. My suggestion is for something on the FAQ or "How To" page to have info about how to submit records for moths, both First Of Year and county records. Best to have a simple checklist of information that should be included with each record. Think of what someone signing on for the first time would want to know about the list and what to do with his/her moth records. Sound right? ....wondering what the next TN-xxxxx listserve will be.....TN-Bugs? David Trently Avian Pursuits Nature Tours ...come see the real world!

David, I am the administrator of tn-moths. I never set up a how to page. I've been letting things flow and it seems to being going okay. I'm not sure what rules I would use at this time. Nor have I looked at the web page option. I'm open to the idea of pursuing this. I would like to hear from others. My opinion is things are okay the way they are, I've belonged to several listservs and I never used a how to page, but I'm happy to make changes as the group sees fit.

To: tn-moths@xxxxxxxxxxxxx After reading J. N. Howard's note asking about requirements for documentation, I went to the TN-Moths site on the FreeLists website to look to see if there was information about the 'rules' for this listserve, and/or information about documenting moths. I didn't find anything. Some lists (not sure if this includes those on FreeLists) have a place where this kind of information can be placed. I think I recall it for TN-Butterflies...but I wasn't able to find that either. Is there such a page for TN-Moths? If not, it looks like the list administrator can set up a web page for the list. It could include information about how to document sightings (even though this list is not just about documentation) Am I just not finding this info?
