I recieved this from Chip the other day. In view of the latest suggestion that 
someone 
take charge of summaries, archives and indexes I would like to suggest Chip for 
the 
job. I am certain he would take it if the RAOU would pay his salary. You can 
read for 
yourself what obvious talent he has.

ELECTRONIC CITATION - SUMMARY OF A RIVETING DEBATE

This is offered for anyone who has come in on this late. It will save them 
wading through all those 
multi-arrowed repetitions and hopefully get to the heart of the matter rather 
quicker than any of the 
participants have.

Please bear with me if I misquote since I trashed all the electronic originals 
the moment I read them.

MM went to the Murray Sunset and posted a very interesting list of birds. 2-6 
Oct.
Chorus ( pretending to be unimpressed )- How did the blackbird get there?
LC- Via the sprinkler system.
Chorus- Doom and gloom. This could be the end of the Australian megafauna and 
even the 
Black-eared colour morph of the Yellow-throated Miner. 
NM then rescued the Northern Territory by declaring it a Blackbird free zone. 
But what exactly is 
the Blackbird location, M?

MM- It's a bore. ( Well, no controversy so far. )

MM- Oh, and by the way. While my young son was swimming in the bore a Pallid 
Cuckoo swooped 
down and pecked off his willy.
HP- I'll pass it on to the Handbook Assembly Unit.
Chorus- Wouldn't it be better to reattach it?
HP- The information, silly. BUT IT WILL NEED AN ELECTRONIC CITATION.
MC- Can't be done.
HP- Can SO.
MM- Can NOT.
MC- Can SO.
DM-Can NOT.
MM- Can SO.
HP- Can NOT.
Chorus- Unsubskribe, unsubskribe!

MC - Well I can see that David agrees with me. ( Beautiful list of references. )
XX- Request information re major blackbird nesting event in Mallee. Plus very 
fair price offered 
for almost finished thesis on Blackbirds or similar.

So consensus achieved, business as usual. Oh, and Niv, you're quite right mate, 
the answer is 
definitely one thing or the other.

Now, in the unlikely event that this has ruffled any feathers, please remember 
- this wasn't really 
published so it didn't really happen.

Chip McGee.
