>Ah, Tweeters. What a splendid concept. Why is so much time and space
>wasted?. How does the U-Dub justify the use of public resources for
disssemination of so much egotistical and non-avian drivel? Ed Level,

As far as egotistical drivel goes, academia thrives on it. As far
as non-avian drivel goes, why would expenditure of public resources
for birding be considered non-wasteful while expenditure of public
resources for, say, conservation education be considered wasteful?
