I would be the first to admit that there are some people on
this net whose content proves to be of little value or interest to me and whose
mail I routinely delete without reading. There is other mail the
titles of which get a similar response from me. One such thread
is the never ending debate (??- gee, that's rating it a bit high) over bird
banding which comes up over and over ad nauseam and never gets anywhere because
people seem determined to remain poles apart in their (often ) emotional
outbursts. I usually choose to ignore the above and just go delete,
delete, delete.
No doubt there are others who do the same to mail from me. C'est la
vie.
However, a type of mail which actually does cause me some annoyance
is that which seeks to publicly criticise other net contributors whilst hiding
behind such puerile nom de plumes as Night Parrot, Pipe Down, Jag Dag, etc .
Look, I don't see anything wrong with letting another person know that you
don't appreciate their mail, that's everyone's prerogative, but to do it in
public in this way without being prepared to reveal one's identity is a form of
cowardice fit only for the lowest form of life.
If you have something to say but don't wish to identify yourself then for
goodness sake show some sense of decency and mail it in private. But if you
absolutely believe that your comments should be in the public domain then stop
being so gutless and put your name to your snide comments.
