Joe and Tweeters,



My apologies if I came on stronger than was necessary in my comments about
the Snowy Owl

photos. As you are a long-time member of Tweeters, I assumed that you were
aware of the ban on photos, but had momentarily forgotten it. At any rate, I
could have (and should have) spoken more diplomatically.



Sending attached photos is prohibited, or at least strongly discouraged, on
the great majority of birding E-groups (or at least, the ones I belong to)
for the reasons I mentioned. WHATCOM BIRDS is one of the relatively few that
allow transmission of photos.



I may be more sensitive than some to the sending of photos to E-groups.
This, I'm sure, is a holdover from the days when I was on dial-up, and
frequently could not open such files. On several occasions, messages
containing large attached photo files caused my Email to shut down
completely, and I assume that this is still a problem for some people on
dial-up.



What I forgot to say was how nice your Snowy Owl photos are. When and where
did you take them?



Sincerely,



Wayne C. Weber

Wayne,

Thanks for the public admonition. I learn something new everyday!

Everyone else,
Mea culpa, etc. I have been enlightened accordingly, but I hope you enjoyed
the Snowy, nonetheless. That was my intention, after all.

Resounding cheers,
Joe Meche
Bellingham
