[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

Thank you, Wallace, for your usual well-written commentary regarding TB-bird. 
 It is, without doubt, the finest list I have seen for all the reasons you 
mentioned.  On some lists, messages come out every few days from the list 
owners haranguing the subscriber over something that is "off topic."  That is 
very "off-putting," so I just read them and seldom participate in posting to 
them, likely to their extreme delight.

Subscribers, pleases realize how lucky we all are to have Jeff Wilson's 
"articles" to read on TN-birds FOR FREE!!!!  I subscribe to all the birding 
magazines I can afford (around ten), and Jeff writes better and imparts more 
knowledge in one short post than many of those authors do in long articles, 
and they GET PAID, however minimally it might be.  We subscribers pay for 
those magazines, therefore it costs us to read those articles.  Folks, if you 
cannot look this fabulous "gift horse" in the mouth, then do as the others 
have told you -- delete!  You'll be missing a lot.

Thanks to TN-birds, Wallace, Jeff and a hundred or so other who make each of 
my days better by imparting their knowledge and experiences FOR FREE in a 
world where people seldom give you anything for free and often do not even 
have time to do a favor for a neighbor.  Instead of "bitchin", slow down and 
take the time to smell the roses or wild flowers and look at a few birds 
while you are at it.  Your stress levels will improve.
