I've been watching this thread for awhile now, and my personal opinion
just keeps getting stronger.  I would like to see a vote put the issue
to rest, but I don't believe I have seen a specific vote proposal.

Although I've never bothered to read the group charter, it apparently
was intended for the "OUTDOOR" folks.  Should the vote then be on
whether we add to the charter the clause "No INDOOR people allowed"
or the clause "INDOOR people welcome"?

(My personal story is that since I was in 2nd grade I've been very
interested in wild birds and completely nonplussed by captive birds.
Then I joined this group to learn more about birds which I'm now
doing with both INDOOR and OUTDOOR postings.  So I like the group
the way it is.)
