rant against twitching

["Dave Torr" <>]

In the last month a swift count reveals around 150 threads on Birding Aus -
of which precisely one has been on a "blow in" - the Pallas' Grasshopper
Warbler. So statistics certainly don't back up this theory. Many subjects
get discussed - some of marginal relevance - but I don't think you can use
BirdingAus to prove this point
