Sorry, but the original posting was credited as "thanks, John Graff, Greg
Howell and Frank O'Connor."
These guys contacted me directly. I have had not complaints from John, Greg and
Frank.
Can I suggest that others stop discussing this on birding-aus. In truth, this
is no-one else's business but ours. However, the messaging didn't come from
birding-aus, so please refrain from making these assumptions as they are
incorrect. We're very happy that we've always credited people correctly and
will continue to do so. It only takes a quick look at our history and you can
see this.
If you have any problems, you can always contact me directly, which may be
preferable as I doubt the rest of the group really want to be reading our rants.
Kind regards,
Simon Mustoe.
