Well, most people know what I think but given the opportunity to say it 
again, I will. In my opinion, this is Norms baby. Not yours, its not mine. 
This is a privilege that all of us take advantage of. If you are reading 
this you are privileged to be a part of it. If not Norm, yes someone else 
would probably do it. Then you would be privileged to someone else's hard 
work and expenses. Everyone has an opinion about this and how it should be 
run. That's fine to me, but I will remain here, doing what I always do, 
which is reporting my bird sightings and enjoying others sightings. 
Attachments/ no attachments, personally I like them. Its the few people 
that exist on this earth that continually ruin it for others. Such as 
life, but I do enjoy looking at others photo's. I often share mine with a 
private list just for the fun of it.

People do ramble on with some of the humor postings, I know allot of 
people enjoy that but it gets to the point of I don't get it because I 
don't always follow it. Those in my opinion should be off list back and 
forth between yourselves after a certain point. But its not up to me. This 
isn't my sight. I just have my opinion. Yes, funny things happen when 
birding or seeing odd bird behavior. Bring it on. I love it. But a week or 
two of the same thing. How many times can you read practically the same 
article over and over and over. 

Once again taking my own advise. We are spending to much time with this. 
Get back to Birding! Keep the great bird reports coming in!
Great Job and thanks, to Norm and Fran. Run it to the way you see fit. Its 
your time. Your money, but thanks for caring in what we think.
