I guess I missed the firestorm.  In my mind it's simply about not overgeneralizing.  I appreciated Jen's take on it.  

As for sharing in today's media, the genie is out of the bottle and you cannot turn back the clock.

I look forward to Bob's posts.  Sorry if my comments were misunderstood as being directed at him, that was not my intent.  I've just grown weary of seeing a photographer bashing email once per season...and I've only been doing this for about 18 months.  In my mind, that speaks to a problem of perception.

Sorry again Bob if you took this as about you personally... I'd hate to think that was the case.

It appears my thoughts on what presently goes on in the Ohio birding world do not fit into today's birding standards.
