No, I'm sorry, but binoculars are inappropriate subjects for this
group.  You have to look at the charter, which says "bird watching".
Nowhere does it say anything about bird watching EQUIPMENT.  You'll
just have to go over to rec.binoculars for your information.  Or
sci.optical, rec.photo, or dev/null.  So sorry, but we are all too
busy here flaming about what should be and not be in this group.
So grab yourself a dictionary and flame on, dude.

p.s., my dictionary doesn't seem to have "bird watching" as a term.
Interesting, no?
