Note: Tom doesn't run that list and as far as I know isn't even a subscriber to ebirdsnyc. How Tom thinks anyone should sign their post to that list is irrelevant. Since I do run that list I encourage people to sign first names but I have no current intention of making it mandatory. In fact Matthew did sign his post. Subscribers to the list can see his email and question him directly if they felt the urge.
But let's return the favor of making that post in the first place: I find it dubious to start questioning sightings reported on other lists, especially in light of the author of the commentary. Other NYC birders might understand if I make allusions to throwing stones in glass houses. Phil Jeffrey Princeton/Ewing > 4.
