Open letter of apology for once being a reckless user

Not sure if you know this, but there’s a specific term some iNat users have for posting lots of observations taken from a moving car, which I’ve gotten the impression you do a bit of. I can’t remember what it is though. One of NY state’s most prolific observers, Astrobirder, does a lot of that. Sometimes it can get annoying to have to go through correcting a hundred blurry trees, but on the flipside it does build up good distribution data over time.

There’s this project: Road iNatting

and someone (on this forum?) once linked to this pdf:
