Sadly, as the email didn't go through the Birding-Aus system, but rather was sent to a large list of email addresses, and the list was given the coincidental name BirdingAus (or maybe Birding-Aus or Birding Aus) it doesn't have anything to do with what we know as Birding-Aus. If that isn't confusing...

Moderators can't do anything about it.

Ken,I dont want to start a major debate either - I'd rather get back to the birds? But I really dont think the incident should be ignored and I would value the moderator's view R? If we encourage anyone with a possible interest via a worthy cause or associated product to use this group for marketing, it will be overwhelmed, lose it's purpose and die. The action, no matter how worthy the cause, is simply unacceptable in my view and endangers the great value of this community. (I do like the beaut new euphamism "crowdfunding" though - I'll store that one).Graeme

Hi,
I can understand some folk's reaction to the Balanagara film's fundraising method. However one possible reaction could be just to delete the offending
email and move on.

Given the poverty of positive wildlife publicity I would have thought this sort of project would be encouraged by birdingaus subscribers [if not their
'sneaky' method of advertising]. I must say I can understand the mistake
being made; in their earnestness for the project it would have seemed
natural to seek out groups already 'on the side' of the birds.

Correct and forgive would be my advice rather than take up a vendetta.

donation....]
