TN-Birders: TN-Birs is a FREE, 24-hours, 7-days per week service provided for the reporting of bird activites relative to Tennessee. It has provided nearly 30,000 messages since coverage was first begun in 1995. The daily maintenance and coordination of suscription services and problem shooting has been donated without one cent of cost to any subscriber for nine years. All that is requested of subscribers is to state the specific location, including COUNTY, for all sightings. Please sign EVERY message with your FIRST and LAST name and the CITY OR TOWN, INCLUDING STATE, of your home mailing address. To do anything else lacks consideration for the hundreds of birders who subscribe to Tennessee birders and the 95 % of the postings which are dedicated to following our style and making the network useful and enjoyable for others. It is not too much to ask of the other 5 % of you who simply fail to help us run the very best state bird list I know of. This message is being sent because a small number of uncooperative subscribers have been regularly ignoring these simple requests. It is not a situation we would like to have continue to grow. If you need help in developing a working method for complying, it is strongly suggested that you adopt the style and tradition establised and long used by Jeff "OLCOOT" Wilson. Many birders across the state use this simple approach to providing locations. Thanks for your future cooperation. Let's go birding.....
