Ya and guys, since there is somebody else bere but the one chic who thinks
she is the administrator of this group, i will tell you the rest of you,
this is not for you Andrea, although im sure you will reply to it in one way
or the other to find fault in it.
I didnt and havent touched a falcon since that last incident 10 yrs ago, and
dont plan to until i get some experience with a falconer as i mentioned
before. I didnt know the screen perch was illegal, if somebody will point
me to some PROPER literature on falconry, ive read all i could find on it, A
Rage For Falcons, other books, cant remember which ones, all the research i
could do at MSAC college in California, and all i could come up with was
screen perch or block, and since i didnt have a block and astro turf, and
did have the screen and perch i decided on that one, so the screen perch
looked like a good idea to me as it IS what i READ, and WAS practiced at one
time in the art of falconry historically. So its not like i WASNT using
falconry techniques, just that i was having problem finding falconers that
would help, and updated literature to follow. hey whos world is this
anyway? its mine, yours, and the falcons, so lets be fair now.
And whats up with this secret society, dont be selfish i say, the world is
not yours alone. Lets publish some good falconry techniques so those that
are not willing to take the good route, WELL AT LEAST THE BIRDS WONT BE
BEING MISTREATED! By all means, i say DO NOT practice falconry without
taking apprenticeship for the the year or whatever is required, but hey, i
did. Dont think im the only one, im just trying to save the next bird.
Did i mention i am an Ornithologist? Well not a full degree, but been
through Zoology, Field Biology, Environmental Science, and another 4 yrs
general ed and other biology, voulenteer worked at the Aviary at the college
(hawk and falcon rescue), worked with the Ornithologist who showed me basic
bird veterinary skills like drawing blood and and making plates for the
microscope to check blood cell count, repairing broken wings, broken tails,
broken legs, and dealing with other ailments. The birds were in good hands,
the art failed me. If the literature was up to date, that bird wouldnt have
died. He may not have been able to hunt, however, lol, unless i did a good
job of studying that literature.
U say too young, is that why the calcium deficiency? God i feel bad.
i like microsoft products, i swear by windows 98se because i know how to fix
anything in a flash, and yes ive tried the rest, lunux, openshare, Mac,
WinXP, ill stick with win98SE as fully secured as can be expected, and
Outlook Express6, 128bit encryption usually, running a firewall, connecting
through a proxy on my other server, includig a firewall on that one thats
configured to the hilt. so im not really worried about security. Yes this
rubs you wrong all you Microsoft haters, but why do you hate microsoft
anyway, afterall they pioneered this stuff that ill bet most of you are
using right now.

Post by LenAs a professional who has installed and repaired every type of personal
computer since IBM launched their XTs in the 1980s and worked with every
version of MSDOS and Windows since then, I don't see any problem with using
Outlook Express as a news reader. Of course there are "better" packages that
will suit some people but there are also "better" operating systems than
Windows and "better" machines to run them on than a PC. So what? You use
what you have and if you're not happy with it, find a "better" alternative
at a time and cost that suits you. If you don't it doesn't mean you're
clueless. I'm sure that I could find fault with a lot of the software that
you use but that doesn't give me the right to insult you. I must admit, I
only tend use newsgroups when I need some expert advice and have found
Outlook Express more than adequate for me. (No, it wasn't pre-installed; I
build my own machines and install what I need to do the job it is intended
for.)
