[Birdtalk] Sending hotline messages

[RICHARD JILL WOOD]

And now one runs the risk of having the person that runs the hotline calling 
you back and saying, 'You couldn't possibly have seen that...", because that 
person is one of the "Local High Priests of Birding".

Can you tell I've become extremely cynical about the whole bird 
sighting/reporting process?
