I notice by the two very recent posts by you (this one to emupilot, and one to me), that you aren't at all insulting.Bonsaibirder said:No, it needs to be of a live bird.

btw is synonomous a synonym of synonymous? or just a minor oversight?
eh Mr Clever Clogs?

Thanks, but it's really not a big deal. I know what I have seen and that my data proves it. I have the satisfaction of knowing that I have had more success than probably anyone else who has searched for this species. I'm not concerned about trying to convince anyone. My main goal was to help find other populations of this species. I have done that, and the people that matter know there are ivorybills in the Pearl. It won't matter to me if the skeptics never have the satisfaction of knowing that the ivorybill still exists.Peregrinator said:I'm sorry your character has been attacked so violently on this forum.

Tim Allwood said:I'm sure people can check their dictionaries if they're unsure. Lots of people have been executed on the basis of evidence that wasn't, shall we say... er proof? If evidence were proof wouldn't virtualy every criminal in a court of law be found guilty? I mean, how many cases go to court without evidence?
and it's vice versa

No, it needs to be of a live bird.

Tomato. You must be thinking of a certain US vice president's public
(mis)correction of a seven year old's spelling of "potato".

I had a look at www.miriam-webster.com and it appeared to be nothing but sponsored links.
