I can't thank you enough for your restrained comments, Burt. I've found some
recent Tweeters postings difficult to read.

Once upon a time, we on Tweeters were occasionally plagued with "the dreaded
cat thread." Then Dan Victor quite properly put his foot down. If you
consult Tweeters guidelines, which you should have received when you signed
on, you'll see that postings having to do with hunting and with cats are
prohibited on this list. These items may be important in the overall
conservation picture, but the postings tend to add nothing but heat and
angry replies to one another. So when you get mad at a hunter, go watch a
bird. If your neighbor's cat is out prowling, please say something about
it, but please don't tell the rest of us about it. Okay?
