MY VOTE IS CHANGE IT BACK>>> I agree with Robin's insert below!
<< Even if people screw up I'm willing to get a few
"personal" messages in the mix each and every day if it means that I
will also get answers to bird questions that are posted. If someone
asks about seed, or species distribution, or directions to a new birdy
place I'd like the response to be public because many times when I read
the inquiries I think "Wow, I've always wanted to know that too".

WE ALL LOSE OUT when an interesting bird conversation is started on
Tweeters and concluded privately. >> This is not a private sector server!

I'm on this list server to learn, read, share and chat about the seemingly
(unfortunately) politically driven listserver call TWEETERS. It is
unfortunate that the few that are "unhappily dis-serviced by a few errant
replies flips the listserver world around."
