Hi Lori,
I also have asked questions on the list serve and try to minimize them for
the same reason you have mentioned. I think that a small percentage of the
the people answering on the list serve do not take into considerion the full
picture, that this is a forum and information should be shared in a positive
manner. If we believe everyone to be evil first, than what is the point.
I have been birding with alot of people who post on the list serve and they
freely share information and have always provided positive feedback when we
go walking, I have also had interesting/heated discussions with them as
well. Normally when someone provides negative feedback on the list serve I
have to question their movtives, and I can accept or reject them. So hang
in there, find and stick with the folks who provide information in a
positive manner, there is nothing you can do for the people who provide
information negatively because they will never hear you.
Regards,
Jack Carroll
