It is with some sadness that I'm signing off Tweeters after several years as
a member. I've enjoyed the contact with most of the Tweeters community.
However, I have enough antipathy and ill will in my life, and I don't need
to find it here as well. I feel that Don Baccus has fostered a sense of
intolerance and confrontation in Tweeters that I find personally
unacceptable. I have asked Dan Victor to address this issue on several
occasions, but without success. So today I'm joining Jerry and Sandy
Converse and signing off. To the rest of you who are tired of this, either
stay and try to change the atmosphere on Tweeters or leave. You can e-mail
the list owner, Dan Victor at dvictor at u.washington.edu. My best to you all,
good luck, and good birding.
