Some good news and some bad news

Greetings Russell

What is the world [of Australian birding] coming to?  No sooner do we hear 
that eremaea has decided to bed down with eBird than we learn of the divorce 
between birding-aus and vicnet.  Calamity upon calamity.  What next?  Shall 
we learn that the Board of Birdlife Australia decrees the feeding of wild 
birds on a home birdfeeder [practised by millions around the birding globe] 
as, after all, an acceptable  pastime?  Will they rescind their fatwa on 
domestic pussies?
Sad as it is Russell, that's modern technology for you; passing ships in the 
night.  What is new today is old, fuddy-duddy, tomorrow and never the twain 
shall meet.
It's your forum Russell, do as you wish with it although I would say that as 
you seem to have already established a platform with Yahoo [albeit a rather 
uninspiring name for a host]  stick to that.  I am no technocrat and would 
be loathe to have to steer myself through even more of that geeky stuff.
Cheers

Julian
