Hmmmm... I believe that some people will find anything to complain about or "bitch" as it was so described. Some people just get so caught up in the excitement of seeing a new bird or a rare visitor that they just forget their own names and where they are from. Some of them even apologize and correct their mistakes. Those that don't may actually not be reading their own posts therefore never realizing what an injustice they have served their fellow bird list members. I have myself fallen into the category of those people that forget to leave their name and for that I am deeply sorry. In fact I found myself in that category just a few hours ago and I immediately responded. I will make it my goal to double check my e-mail before I hit that send button from here on out. If it were not for the mistakes of others what would we have to complain about? Happy New Year!!!
