Folks,
First, a hearty thank you for all the comments. Personally I think OBOL
works rather well, and I have zero desire to change the rules at all or
put any kind of restrictions on posts other than what we already have.
The number of complaints I get are extremely small, so why change
anything because a few of us are a bit grouchy about this or that.
Life goes on.
With that said, I got a good chuckle out of some of your comments.
Paul suggested that some posts are too long, yet his post on the topic
was the longest. Paul suggested it would nice if OBOL was like a
newspaper and you can skip the sections you don't like. I think it
already is like that, and you can use the delete when you like. Yeah,
maybe there are a few studs in the center of the lek that really know
how to strut their stuff, but there's a lot of others running around
them having a lot of fun with extra pair copulation. I haven't heard
too many of them complain about the fun they are having running around
while the others boom. Sometimes being in the center of the lek is
good, other times you're the target of the predator. We all find our
niche. After all, those satellite males at the Ruff leks actually do
pass their genes along just fine. And we all know the ladies are the
ones who ultimately benefit, as either way they get what they want.
I forwarded that email only as a simple reminder to us regulars to play
nice, and to point out to those that are intimidated, to please
participate because the news depends on everyone to report it. It
seems to me that we have come to the final conclusion we normally come
to: OBOL is a big family, and we know we get to choose our friends but
not our family, but we generally really need to deal with our family
whether we like it or not. Except Crazy Uncle Ernie, we just use
delete when he starts to rant his mumbo jumbo.
There's a COMMON NIGHTHAWK calling outside and the ROBIN is the first
one to sing this morning in the thick fog. I LOVE Oregon.
Carry on.......
Cheers
