Re: [mou-net] Purpose of this listserv?

2020-08-17 Thread MN Bird
I will add my voice to the I HATE FACEBOOK call.

Long ago, I realized that what made Mark Zuckerberg 100 billion dollars is NOT 
his benevolence to the people of the world. It’s all advertising money…but 
without ANY o the restrictions that advertisers on traditional media have to 
(um…are *supposed* to…) abide by.


That’s why I went all Amish on FaceBook years ago and shunned it all. No matter 
how many friends say I “miss so much”.

I tried to send my cool flyer along—but got blocked. If you wish to see it, 
just ask, and I’ll send along. It’s worth it.

Actually there are 3—one for each Field Trip. 

What’s Life Without Whimsy.

[mou-net] Need to hear from Agogo Malawi (no sightings)

2016-06-20 Thread MN Bird
Hello,

Yes, I’m sorry. AGAIN.

My computer went nutty and I lost the email she sent me.

If you are on here, or if you know how to reach her, please let her know I need 
to send me the e-mail she sent with the 5 pix of the Gull-billed Tern annd the 
story.


And her address so I can send her a copy of the June SD Bird Notes, the 
quarterly journal of the SD Ornithonolgists’ Union. Her tern graces the cover 
magnificently.

Thanks.

Doug Chapman
