A Friday Funny: ButterLIES

[AdamWargon]

Brett,

I love your contributions on the forum! Like your wonderful Valentine’s Day cards that you created: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/inat-inspired-valentines/

You seem like an amazing dad, and it probably takes up most of your time. At the same time, when I see you write

@gutenfrog

I’m an inveterate iNatter

And you have 9k observations, but less than 200 IDs, and almost no annotations, I hear Diana saying

@DianaStuder

If you upload your obs with your own ID - then the ratio is 1.25 to ‘give back what you require from identifiers’. It is a choice which has drawn a mostly positive response.
iNat welcomes soaring numbers of observations and observers.
Then we hit a wall of missing identifiers to balance it out.

There is no “right way” to use iNat. Enjoy the platform, and try not to burn out!

I’m just planting a seed about one perspective, which, as Diana said, seems to draw a mostly positive response, at least from the Ten Thousand Club that frequents the forum.
