OK you lot

Really People!  This is the internet! spamming, advertisements, crap emails, useless information!!!

These are the foundation of this wonderful technology...and the best thing about it is, you can ignore, delete and destroy anything that doesn't tickle your fancy. And NO PAPER is wasted!!! *cheer*

Some suggestions:

1.\ Start an email account just for BIRDING-AUS emails e.g Hotmail account etc. This way it wont clutter up your personal inbox.

2.\ If the subject doesn't  sound interesting to you, delete it.

3.\ Learn to skim read. The internet is FULL of useless information that is trying to get your attention. If you read every word that is presented to you on a computer screen, you would be here for an eternity... Its crucial on the internet that you can skim through information and pick up stuff that is relevant/interests  you.

I hope no one else leaves the group...it would be one less email to skim through and delete that may just have some useful information. : )

regards,

Peter
