Just because you say "no offense" doesn't excuse the offensive things you say. People of all different cultures and beliefs participate in birding and thus, this listserve. I, personally, take great interest in the personal signatures of each post as it shows how incredibly diverse our passion is. God bless diversity and God bless all of you for sharing your experiences with our feathered friends. ~Scotty K ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
