Richard,

I talked to Terry briefly the during the potluck for the Bellingham CBC
compilation and asked him why he wasn't on Tweeters. He indicated he had
talked to some tweeters and felt he didn't really have the time to read
through the volume of daily messages generated. When I indicated that there
seemed to be a lot of busy folks participating he made a comment about not
being a perfectionist nor having a mission. He had just published a volume on
birding in Whatcom County and folks were asking him about that so I didn't
press the issue.
