I think many of us would prefer you to, cease and desist from posting such
unnecessarily vitriolic and personal attacks such as yours Paul. I myself
would much prefer to have a little levity now and again on a list that often
includes a lot of doom and gloom. And also, who do you think you are to
dictate to the other people what they should or should not post.

Well it's a kind of joke but it's heavily laden with material intended to
discredit the green movement - the reference to designer shorts for
example - and following on from your vocal disapproval of a greens
supporter commiting the heinous crime of using an American spelling on
list - which happens to be closer to etymological origins of the word than
the badly transliterated English spelling - comes across as a politcal
attack. A token tawny frogmouth hardly makes this suitable material for
birding-aus.
Please cease and desist from posting this politcal, non-birding material
to the list.

I thought the joke below might make some of you smile. This is from a
(non-birding, non-greenie) friend.
The head Greenie Tree Hugging Lady Activist, who was responsible for
getting
horses banned from National Parks & State Forests, was climbing a big
tree
to have a look out over the forestry when a Tawny Frogmouth attacked her
for
invading its nesting site.
In a panic to make her escape, she slid down the tree, getting many
splinters in the crotch of her designer shorts.
In considerable pain she rushed to the nearest doctor, told him she was
an
environmentalist and how she got all the splinters.
The doctor listened with great patience and then told her to go into the
examining room and he would see if he could help her. She waited for
three
hours before the doctor reappeared.
The angry woman demanded: "What took you so long?"
He smiled and then told her: "Well, I had to get permits from the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Forestry Service, National Parks and
Wildlife Service, Rural Fire Service, and Conservation and Land
Management
before I could remove old growth timber from a recreational area..... And
I
am sorry but they turned me down."
