Dear Tweeters,

The debate about renaming of birds has broken down into two camps, both of which have raised their concerns fully.

In the interest of preserving civil discourse, it's time to call a halt to this topic before it reaches the troll farm level (if it hasn't already).

Thank you for the many, many thoughtful comments, and for your understanding.

Good birding!
