[Birdtalk] off-topic

[RICHARD JILL WOOD]

Hi all,

I've been thinking about this for quite a while now.

A person reports seeing a bird that is "rare" to an area, and he is 
"requested" to submit a report to the local records committee by a member of 
said committee.  However, this person (the observer) does not know that the 
record committee will either a) reject the observer's report, or b) never 
even review it.

Is it just me, or is this rather unethical behavior on the part of the 
records committee?  And who does one go to to complain about record 
committeesand their unethical behavior?

To me, this is like submitting a grant proposal and being on the review 
committee that is reviewing the proposals.

Richard
