Hi folks,

A week or two ago, there was an inquiry about contacting and subscribing to the OBOL list. If
there was a reply, I missed it. But, here's some info on the list for those who are interested.

The OBOL list has just switched owners, and Lucy Biggs is the New OBOL List Administrator.
I presume that OBOL will maintain its strict observance of OBOL rules, such that discussions of
political action; habitat; jokes, limericks and bad puns; flowers and butterflies and mammals, and
the like are still prohibited. A bit dry for us Tweeters types, but for those who are interested in
birding in that strange State to the south, it might be worth checking out.

archive the email list messages. I have listed below the common commands
