Are there many listers than don't put their list on the Dutch List rankings?
In Britain BUBO is I suppose similar to the Dutch Listing website, but it has lots of big listers missing.
I think most active listers are on there, definitely the top ones. I have never heard anyone complain that the list is kept up-to-date for them (which must happen for some: there are a few deceased listers who get the odd posthumous tick). A few lists are contentious (I believe one top lister has strung Pallas's Grasshopper-Warbler [bold edited by me]), but that's no reason to start a fight...
A bad choice of words there by Garry. I think he meant:Sadly we've got one of the top 10 on BUBO. Shame about the stringing.
Sadly we've got only one of the top 10 on Bubo (it would be nice to have all of them).
Shame about the stringing in the Dutch list.
I can see why Steve was struck by this comment, but no one else needs to pounce on Garry for an unfortunate phrase.
