Please people, the moderators have made it very clear numerous times that
non-bird sighting posts about the situation in Malheur are not appropriate
to this listserv.
They went so far as to set up another listserv just so people can carry on
conversations that are tangentially related to birding in Oregon--the
occupation at Malheur being a prime situation. Not to mention other news
sites, Facebook communities and pages devoted to Malheur/birding/etc where
there are comment sections to engage with other like-minded (or otherwise)
people til your heart's content.
This rule applies to ALL OF US, no matter how interested or disinterested
in the situation we may individually be, or how irresistible a certain
story or comment is.
