Re: [Ontbirds] ADMIN: Advertising on Ontbirds is not acceptable

To whom it may concern:  
I would formally like to apologise to Mark Cranford, the OFO, or anyone who may 
have been offended by my recent post entitled "Learn how to identify birds".  
It was not meant as an insult, advertising, nor a commercial message.  I did 
seek permission from Mark Cranford, but didn't get a response to a second email 
where I was asking how I should word the posting so it didn't sound like a 
commercial message or advertisement.  I didn't want to ruffle any feathers.  
Unfortunately, it did.  When I didn't get a response to my request for 
clarification sent on April 10th I decided to try and interpret the email I 
received when I asked for permission.  Obviously I was wrong and it was a 
mistake to post anything.  Clarification could have easily remedied this 
miscommunication and I would have appreciated a response.  Apparently there's 
no way to remove the post once it's sent, so for this reason I must retract 
that posting.  Please disregard it's content and sorry for any inconveniences 
this 
 may have caused.
