Paul, I thought we were finished with this.
 
 To clarify to everyone, my problem with the whole thing about "is it a Western Nashville Warbler or a Western Palm Warbler" (and I'm not angry, despite what others think) is that a) nobody I've EVER birded with has EVER looked at a bird with the thinking that it might be "another" species, and b) record committee members are so darn SMUG, despite appearances to the contrary.
 
 As for b), record committee members act like your friend when you report something "rare", then are real quick to shoot you down and laugh at you while doing it.  That applies to the "cronies" of record committee members as well.  Some even try to offer you "assistance" with your "lack of bird ID skills" (can you say Mark Stackhouse?) (I know that there are birders from other states lurking on this list, that is why I mention Mark), and after insulting you, they try to befriend you.
