[CT Birds] Birds only Please. RE: Fwd: The Gratitude Symbol!!

[Christopher Lovell]

HI everyone,

Just for the record the posting by Carol re: The Gratitude Symbol was sent
to the list in error.  It was meant to be sent to me personally but due to
the similarities in email addresses ie: ctlovell and ctbirds it was
inadvertently sent to the list.  Our deepest apologies and no offense was
intended.
