So you would have no objection to some birding outfit in the UK advertising
European bird tours on tweeters in the hope to pull in a few wealthy
Americans.

The discussion is not about capitalism per se, its about what tweeters is for
and since it is a free service for subscribers. Should people make money out
of the resources that UW pays for with no return to UW. Would the infomercials
posted be useful for the majority of subscribers or for a select few - given
the wide geographical distribution of tweeters.


There are lots of possibilities for education and edification - much like the
early days of TV. Do I need to say more !!!!!
