In my defense, I did look back in my email before I posted this, but I didn't see the previous email. Maybe I didn't receive it or maybe it's buried in the daily avalanche of email I receive. I apologize for not seeing it; but I did look.

Please consider that not everyone can check their email frequently and that email delivery is not 100% reliable.

Sorry to have created a controversy; all I wanted to ask is for posts to be easier to understand for those of us who are more casual birders. I certainly appreciate the effort everyone makes in posting. Please keep 'em coming!!
