Hi Bill:

Yes, I seel my passage birds. It's not negative. If it was, even in the least, I would have never kept doing it all these years. I'm sure you and I have had this discussion several times over the years.

However, if you would like to discuss it again privately I'd be happy to. But not here. I don't want to ruin Dillon's thread. I hope you understand.

Ed Pitcher sums it up pretty well in his book.

Thanks,
I agree on seeling being a polarized topic. In addition to Pitcher, Ken Riddle discusses it in his book also.

Best,
