Is there a need for B-Aus/Pedant?

[Laurie Knight <>]

I understand that there is considerable interest for some birders in  
the correct application of grammar in public communication and other  
equally detailed topics of similar fascination ...
Given that these topics have often been discussed at length many  
times, is there a need for a Birding-Aus spin-off where threads on  
such subjects can run their natural course without deterring other  
birders from participating in BAus?
I would also like BAus subscribers to reflect on the impact of their  
responses to new participants on BAus - it is possible that some  
people may be put off by remarks that appear to be patronising.  It is  
also important that people don't act like trolls, otherwise the  
moderators may have to fill the role of Big Billy Goat Gruff.
Ultimately like Andrew Stafford, I do find it interesting that people  
have more to say on the subject of capitalisation than the search for  
Night Parrots, so I guess it might be time for B-Aus/Pedant ...
Regards, Laurie.
