I think I figured it out. The first time I tried, I was posting from my RSS reader on the iPAQ. The next time {when it worked} I posted from NetFront. Thanks for your explanation. I know what to do now.

Keep up the good work. Glad you had a good day birding. Looking forward to seeing your pics.

Saul may very well drive us everywhere we want to go. He’s one of the people that’s worked to set things up down here in Mexico, and has a business interest in the trip. (We’ll be using his restaurant for many of our meals). The trip will also be bringing a lot of money to other businesses, like the hotel. So I get the feeling that Saul is half interested in keeping an eye on us just to feel good that everything’s planned.

As far as your experience trying to post from a PDA, I have a very good comment spam filter running, and one of the things it tries to do is create a javascript key that it passes back to itself. Spam bots often can’t support javascript, and apparently your PDA doesn’t either. This spam filter also rewards people who post often, so you may experience less problems as it begans to “trust” you.

Amy, I got your email and have responded.

I sent you an email to toxostoma. Is that the one you’ll check there or should I use [edited]

OK, I’m reading your posts, too. Only I don’t have a pithy reply, this time.

Jay, the reason I have two posts above is that I posted from my iPAQ and after the first post, a security page came up asking me to enter a security code which I did. Only it would not accept it. I thought my post probably had not gone through, so I re-posted the message as you can see. Don’t know what the deal was since both posts were on my iPAQ.

Great reply Amy!!! Wish I’d thought of it. Hope he showers a little more when he’s leading the tour groups.

Thanks for posting. Good report. We’re looking forward to your pictures. Hope tomorrow goes well.

So is Saul going to drive you wherever you need to go for the rest of your scouting trip?
