You're a moderator. It's in your power to stop the thread, but
before you do:
(1) I'm reminded of the ABA's (American Birding Association)
struggle over whether to stop talking about conservation and just stick
to the fine points of identification. In the end they managed to do
both, realizing that without conservation, there will be nothing to
identify.
(2) People who emphasize recording (this list) can add a lot to the
discussion, which has otherwise been dominated by birders.
(3) We have our own ethical responsibilities. After all, we are in
the field recording, some of us playing back, some of us selling or
sharing recordings that might be used for playback, etc. Don't we owe
users (and the birds/frogs/platypus') some rational guidelines on their use=
?
(4) There's always the delete key.
