If no one is going to apologize to anyone for any of the awful
insults going on in this net and get on with life, then I feel
that I must apologize for ever bringing the topic of cats and
bird feeders up.  You see, it all started when I asked a very
simple question and I quote,"how can I keep my neighbors cat
from my bird feeder this winter".  This was a simple question
I posed to help me solve my problem.  

Well, I must say, in the beginning, I received some very good
suggestions, and I thank all who contributed.  But I am really
sorry to see the anger that has resulted between everyone.
I only hope things will settle down and all will bring things
back to a rational level so we may enter into the holiday season
with joyful hearts.  There is still time to quench all the fires
burning. 
God Bless!
