Folks
A few people recently sent OBOL messages with attachments, including
this most recent one. Based on this it is time for the Moderator to
remind everyone that attachments are NOT permitted for OBOL emails.
To remind everyone the reasons:
1) viruses are often attached to emails, so it is rather dangerous to
open an attachment unless you are certain it is coming from a known
source. To avoid this on OBOL, NO attachments please. If you have a
question or photo or something to share, please post it on the web and
give us a link, or tell everyone you have a photo (or whatever) and you
will be happy to forward to anyone who requests.
2) there are plenty of OBOLers who still have dial up connections.
Attachments slow down the download time massively, and these folks do
not want or need the attachments. This may be hard for some to
believe, but the honest truth is even me, the Moderator, has had a
relatively slow connection speed until next week when I finally get
serious high speed connection. Oregon is full of rural places that
have no fiber optic lines or are too remote to be close enough to the
servers for high speed. So again, NO attachments.
Apologies to Laura, I do not mean to pick on you, your email simply
triggered the friendly reminder.
Oh, by the way, I believe you are listening to a BLACK-HEADED
GROSBEAK.......
Cheers

Oboers,
Would someone be so kind as to identify this song? It's in my sister's backyard, and she says it sings from 7am-7pm, never letting up (actually she said, never "shutting" up).
Thanks,
Laura
