Hi Gary,
To understand this, you had to have belonged to the "Old" Osprey's Nest. =
In the old bulletin board system, you had to do something extra to make =
a message private. Posting to "ALL" was the default. Not many people =
would do the extra step to make a message private, so a culture evolved =
where semi-personal messages were posted to "ALL". =20
Now, I don't believe anyone would talk about his prostate operation to =
the entire TON (TON is the old short abbreviation for "The Osprey's =
Nest"), but a short message to one or two people about an upcoming =
birding expedition was certainly acceptable. Actually, there was even a =
lot of positive interaction that developed because of this. For =
instance, someone else who read the message might respond and say, "Hey, =
can I come along !". And most of the time this type of response is =
welcomed. It's this type of interaction that us long term Osprey =
Nesters (me included) don't want to see go away.
Norm finances this out of his own pocket, so I think we should at least =
honor his wishes for what he wants MDOSPREY to become. After all, it's =
his nickel.
I hope to bump into in the field sometime soon, perhaps Arizona ?
Good Birding,
Darius.
