Hi !
I might as well put my two bobs worth in also
regarding the emails
I doubt if anyone can
dispute that over the last couple of years the emails to COG
have changed in content and context, in changing from being a birdo news
and info service in to being an almost a "Twitter" type of format.
In days of yore when the method of the reporting anything of interest
or some unusual sighting was by phoning in to the Hot Line. These
reports, received by Ian Frazer, who very ably compiled a tape of
those reports which he thought were newsworthy and discarded those that
weren't ,alas most of mine fell into this category . Since
we don't have an editor I think all email senders should
consider if their emails are genuine questions or have a worthy
information content to them before sending them off Also
after a subject has been reported 3 to 4 times on the list, everyone knows the
where, why and when, I don't think that it needs a head count of people
that's seen it also, try to get one of your own to report.
This is not a go at the new chums either, we've all been one at some time or
another,and I'm not saying this to be politically correct
either, I just think its time to stop using the service as a gossip
line and use it as it was meant to be.
Cheers
Bob Rusk.
PS - Maybe we should consider incorporating a
Dorothy Dix column
PSS - It should be noted that none of these
suggestions apply to either Geoffrey or myself.
