Carolinabirds 4th Anniversary



Carolinabirds is 4 years old today, 12/13/2000. Two years ago we had 17 
members.  By the first month, we were up to 104.  After a year, 262, at two 
years, 368, and at three years, 438.  Now, at the four year anniversary, we 
just passed the 500 mark with 506 subscribers, plus there are untold numbers 
that read C-birds at three different web sites.  Thanks to all of you who 
make this group a success!  Thanks for being considerate of the readership 
by mostly keeping us on topic and following the rules.
