	Poor Paul!!  He made the fatal mistake of posting about
	a (gasp!  shriek!  moan of disgust) PET BIRD in rec.bird --
	obviously he missed the heated debate in which those of us
	who keep birds as pets were assaulted by the men of Toronto.
	Now that we've been bullied out of this newsgroup, I've noticed
	traffic is pretty stable at about 2 articles a day.

	I'd love to read the e-mail Paul gets!!
