We've had a couple of clearly inappropriate postings, including one earlier today. While you can be sure that person won't be posting again, unfortunately it's quite easy to sign up for a free email account, join a bunch of listservs, post your ad to all of them, and then abandon the free email account. While it's possible to switch to a moderated list, which would require one or more moderators to approve each message before it's posted, that gets in the way of an easy exchange of information, and it's quite a bit of work for the moderators. If things get a lot worse, I guess we'll have to look at that option; but for now, please just try to ignore posts like the one this morning. Oh, and I want to thank the readers who emailed me privately about the problem, instead of posting about it here. -- -- Ned Keller [log in to unmask] ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
