How many times do we have to debate this issue? Don't we get to proclaim
"match, point, set" at some point? This is at least the third time
the issue's been debated since I joined the list. The answer has
always been the same, a large groundswell of support for the list
as it is.

Rather than suggesting that those who participate on this list change
habits to please you, perhaps a more reasonable suggest would be
that those who want a list strictly about birding form one.
