Hi, fellow tweets. I decided to be one who replied to Stuart's request
for opinions--but, Stuart, probably not on the subject you want.

My complaint is not about whatever your opinion or position on any
subject is, it is the same complaint that so many upset Birdchatters
voiced: You have stated your opinion *many times*. We get the message!
On Birdchat, Byron Butler has so often lambasted Birdchatters with his
anti-lister tirades that I think he got lots of usually mild-mannered
chatters upset with him (fortunately for me, I missed most of the debate
this time, but it was only the latest in a series of debates on the same
subjects).
So please, feel free to state your ideas/questions/opinions on any
subject (I don't even care if it's about birds), but only do it once!
Then let's get on with other subjects--like where's a good place for a
birding outing on 18 November before our tweeters zoo potluck?
