Duane & others you are reading too much into my initial post on this matter.

1.   I think people should post WHEN THEY CAN with relevant information to
keep THIS LIST ALIVE!

2.   I don't think people should be criticized if they post an ICAO airport
code versus the full name of the airport -- Sometimes people posting logs
are strapped for time & will use common abbreviations and or codes which
with VERY little effort can be deciphered.  Sometimes criticism results in
hobbyists NOT posting to lists!!! (that is what I meant!!!)

3.  NO ONE (including me) is dictating how often or HOW (method) one should
post logs or other material to this list.

4.  I would hope that everyone would make an effort to post a log or two,
even if it's the "garden variety" of loggings.
