Personally I appreciate the varitey that this list provides. Sometimes I get really bored by what i consider marginal discussions. My solution is pretty novel and cutting edge: I skip over these posts and go on to the ones that are likely to interest me. Frankly, I get very very very tired of the list police --- get a life-- find something to do with your time-- if the weather is too bad to go birding, update your life list, or check off all the genuses that you have finished in Sibley. All of the squabbling makes all of us look petty and reinforces several negative sterotypes about Ohio. Just a suggestion-- personally I will just keep skipping over the posts that bore me and encourage those of you who find them educational and interesting read on to your hearts content. susan ruth marengo annoyed with the list police in northeast cleveland heights Susan Ruth Marengo PhD, Associate Professor Depts.
