Re: [vernalpool] Re: Turtle crossing signs

 

Have to say that I feel as though someone's reading this over my shoulder (i.e. recent comments), but been here for too many years to flinch TOO much.  Anyways, Town of Norfolk has had (and they were stolen) and is again purchasing TURTLES CAUTION CROSSING signs for two locations in town.  Each area will have one at either end of the 'hot' spot.  Discussion has ensued re stenciling the actual street pavement between the signs for additional visual for drivers.  Have any other towns done this that we're aware of?  Aside from thoughts that people might not appreciate attention to turtles and not children, there's questions of how far apart, turtle picture or words, along shoulder, type/color of paint, etc.......If Norfolk's the guinea pig, will let you know how it goes.

Thanks for identifying yourself, Tim. The Ecology blog is pretty high on
anonymity, and I hadn't made any progress tracing it to a person, though I
assumed it was someone on the list who has set up an automated feed to a
blog. It looks like everything on the blog comes from that type of set up.

I don't have a big problem with these discussions being shared beyond the
membership of the list; the archive is public, after all. I suppose it's a
little disconcerting to have every message immediately posted elsewhere,
but our discussions end up "elsewhere" on a pretty regular basis as it is.
I know that nothing I share online is anything but public.

We're not so cool with the copyright getting applied to these
discussions by Ecology Blog, as though they are the Ecology blog's original
content. The copyright is almost certainly meaningless, but that should
stop.

As to the rhetorical question of whether or not it's better to share our
discussions far and wide - I agree that it's a good thing. The control
that (we) the owners are exerting through the group settings is to ensure
that no "undesireables" are posting to the group by moderating membership,
while allowing anyone to read posts that approved members have contributed
via an open archive.

Thanks to all who contribute on a regular basis, as well as to those who
lurk and enjoy what gets posted.

Matt
