Derek and all: My only intent on my post was to generate a positive discussion to find ways to share significant bird sightings on other Internet locations such as Facebook sites, Twitter, or EBird and share those sightings to the MOU listserv so other birders who are not signed up to these sites can hear about them.
Like I said if this not a issue then so be it. I am not surprised that Scott Meyer reacted to my post with his typical insults and childish behavior. If there is reason why MN birders are not sharing as much to MOU Listserv with their sightings, well there ya go.
