The recent thread on playing tapes has been interesting, although not really related to the purposes of this mailing list. In case you've forgotten, we're here to talk specifically about Ohio aspects of birding, and not about birds or birding in general. See http://www.ohiobirds.org/publications/emaillist.php#guidelines for the details. Further discussion of this topic belongs on the forum, or on BirdChat. The guidelines are pretty general, and could be stretched to include almost anything if you work at it. For instance, you could post a message about whether Obama, Clinton or McCain would be better for Ohio birds. NO!!! - don't even THINK about it!!! Please treat this as a gentle reminder from your (usually) friendly listowner. One specific note - replies to this message do NOT belong on this list - please reply privately, and not to the thousand-plus members of this list. -- -- Ned Keller [log in to unmask] ohio-birds listowner ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
